| Western Meadowlark hunting for insects in the dandelions |
This morning I saw this Western Meadowlark hunting for insects in a field near Oahe Dam. It seems like most of the photos I take of meadowlarks show the bird on a fence post. There is nothing wrong with birds on posts, but it is nice to see photos that look a little more natural. So, I was glad to get a few shots of this bird hopping around in the grass and dandelions. The yellow breast of the meadowlark pretty well matches the yellow of the dandelion flowers, don't you think?
I really like these birds. That is a nice picture you took. The Easterns are doing a wonderful job of eating our grubs. I enjoy how we do not even know they are there, but then suddenly we see that flash of yellow when they lift their heads. The Westerns will perch on our fence posts but rarely come to the yard.
