Western Meadowlark Singing

This iconic bird is a common sight and its song a welcome sound come springtime. It stays in Idaho throughout the summer and migrates south in the fall. Singing in north Idaho.

  Thanks Ferdy! I actually didn't realize as many of them would be intros; I thought for sure that the western meadowlark and the american bufflehead would be on JD already. They were a nice surprise when I uploaded them :) Posted 10 years ago

The Western Meadowlark

The western meadowlark is a medium-sized icterid bird, about 8.5 in long. It nests on the ground in open country in western and central North America grassland. It feeds mostly on insects, but also seeds and berries. It has distinctive calls described as watery or flute-like, which distinguish it from the closely related eastern meadowlark.
