Sturnella neglecta
Large, stocky songbird with a short tail. Throat, chest, and belly yellow. Black "V" across chest. Back brown and streaked. Outer tail feathers white.
An abundant and familiar bird of open country across the western two-thirds of the continent, the Western Meadowlark is beloved for its melodic song. It is frequently seen singing atop fenceposts along roadsides in native grassland and agricultural areas.
We heard the meadowlarks before we saw them - such a beautiful song www.allaboutbirds.org
