While trying spot a Greater Roadrunner I came across some Meadowlarks..they are all over our area now.

Thanks for looking,

Rose

Wow, beautiful shots Rose. I hope they are making a comeback, cause I have not seen one in years, but they were all over when I was a kid.

Beautiful shots! What a lovely bird -- and the composition here is so sweet. (Oddly, I'm a fan of barbed wire!)

Thanks Mitch and JG.

Mitch..I don't recall seeing the numbers that I am seeing this year so hopefully they will make their way up to you.

JG...I love rusty barbed wire and fence posts...we must be weird!! LOL!

Thanks again guys,

Rose

Gorgeous shots Rose...of a bird that I've never been fortunate enough to see in person.

Outstanding images Rose. You must have been very close (what lens did you use?).

Great captures Rose! That sure is one thorny looking vine they are perched on!
