I grew up in north central Iowa, walked a mile and a quarter to a three room country school. My route took me past a 40 acre pasture with about 2 dozen dairy cows. There they greeted me every morning along with a pair of meadowlarks singing so very agile and lively. Oh how I miss that gravel road and the sound of those dear birds !
I put up an increasingly elaborate "bird feeder" everything station outside my living room window when I inherited the family farm house. Unfortunately I twice found little bundles of feathers. I have indoor / outdoor cats. So took down the bird station. Really miss the birds. Next time, I'm getting a dog.
Here in Louisiana these were common years ago haven't seen or heard one in several years I blame that on loss of habitat what once we're open fields are now patches of woods that went into tree farms years ago along with some old pasture areas

Wow, I too miss that beautiful state and these beautiful sounds!
This is why I enjoy "Comments" so much!
Thanks for this very clear explanation and illustration of these birds. Couldn’t be better.
I always hear this bird but never see them, I love their song thanks for the info great video thanks from Chadron, Nebraska
Give God the Glory whose delightful creatures these are thank you for all the facts and details
I couldn't imagine being in the country without hearing a Meadowlark
Awesome. Loved your commentary and how there’s also lots of birdsong! Thanks, so informative.
Western Is the 1 for me Awww Missing my Early morning in South Dakota my childhood
Very nice videos.... Congratulations.
I love spring! Robins sing in early morning and evening, while meadowlarks sing a lot during the day.

Beautiful harbinger of spring
I deeply miss hearing Western meadowlarks from my childhood in North San Diego County.
I once got one of these little guys to sing dixie. It took a while but he got pretty good at it.
