Meadowlarks,few years ago pheasant hunting in Nebraska, local warden checking a group of Asian hunters, apparently someone reported them shooting out the Toyota car windows.... warden reported hunters (cough cough) had a dozen quail so they thought turned out a dozen Meadowlarks....lol.
I wonder too, earliest I remember them showing up. Yesterday there were quite a few and busy , today I see a pair huddled together on the ledge out of the wind.
