While driving near Melbourne I saw 10 Meadowlarks. Every time I tried to get close they would fly. So I had to observe them from about 300 feet. Eastern or Western????/ hard to tell at that distance. It is cold and windy . Directions::I saw the birds on Hyndman Dr. Between Thames Rd and Mayfair Rd . Hyndman is approx. 2.7 Km south of #2 Highway and # 2 runs through Melbourne. There is 2 old windmills One on each side of the road. The birds were in the grass by the road. Thames and Mayfair run north and south approx. 7 or 8 Km west of Melbourne To reach Melbourne take Exit # 86 of the 402 and go West or of the 401 take Exit # 157 and go North or Exit # 149 [ Go north] which becomes Thames Road north of the River Donald PYE Wardsville ON [EMAIL PROTECTED]
