\"WesternWestern Meadowlark on the wing<\/span><\/p>\n

The smaller a bird is the harder it is to get flight shots of them and track them with a long lens so I was very happy to get this Western Meadowlark on the wing.<\/p>\n

The bill of my Western Meadowlark is a bit blurry even though I had a shutter speed of 1\/2000 and the wings still show some motion blur but I do like the pose, the background, and the eye contact.<\/p>\n

Antelope Island State Park is a wonderful place to see and photograph Western Meadowlarks<\/span><\/a>, they can be found all over the island.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
