Meadowlark Concert

Perched

One afternoon as I drove east on 120th I found three meadowlarks perched on a fence. Since they have one of the most pleasing songs to me, I pulled the car over and rolled down the window to listen to the that wonderful song they gladly share with us. I just happen to have my camera with me so I also made a few images. The bright sunny day allowed their beautiful color to show. Just before I left I happen to catch one of them at liftoff.

Retired. Having fun shooting Fujifilm cameras. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Nice! I like to sit and listen to Mockingbirds, as they are very plentiful around here. The cool thing is that each of them is very different, based on the all of the songs that they have learned to mimic.

    What a treat that much have been to sit and listen to these fellows sing and that I like that you “just happened to have [your] camera”. 😀

      Birds have become my preferred music over the past few years. They are always in concert and they are free. No need for Angry Birds when we have Singing Birds. I carry that camera all over the place and probably one reason my back is messed up. 🙂

    Wonderful photos of one of my favorites. We have had plenty of Meadowlarks singing in the pasture behind our house and they are a marvelous treat. I have enjoyed the serenades, but have no photos to show for their visits. You did a marvelous job of capuring them.
