If you’ve ever spent any time on Colorado’s plains (or pretty much anywhere on the Great Plains) you have certainly seen and heard these little birds.  Their distinctive flute-like song and bright yellow coloring makes them easy to find and identify.

The Western Meadowlark is actually the state bird of Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wyoming.
