Western Meadowlark sings the praises of spring

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.
