Western MeadowlarkWestern Meadowlark – Nikon D300, f7.1, 1/2000, ISO 400, Nikkor 200-400mm VR at 400mm, natural light

Normally we have Western Meadowlarks year round here in the Salt Lake Valley but because this past winter was harsh it seemed that they moved south for a bit. They are back now and singing their songs of spring.

It won’t be long before their calls are heard throughout the valley calling their mates and nesting will begin. I missed them while they were gone and I am pleased that they are back.

Life is good.
