Meadowlark and Hooded Merganser.

Two days ago I drove 139 miles and came back with just one OK shot. The next morning I drive 1 mile from home and find this cute little ducky. I might as well save my gas money and stick closer to home.

I wish I has a dollar for every time that has happened to me Well done on both, especially like the Meadowlark though, so it WAS worth the drive

Not sure I'd totally agree with that, but thanks anyway.

Thanks for the other comments also.

love the meadow lark- when I was a kid growing up in south Fl. these were all over- have to search to see them now due to lost habitat

Not what I'd consider numerous around these parts anymore either. Pretty much the same sad scenario.
