Hi Ontbirders:
The Western Meadowlark is still present at the corner of Upper Dwyer Hill
Road and Panmure in the community of Panmure today, Sunday. I had to wait
50 minutes before it showed itself. At 4:50pm I saw a meadowlark fly in
from the field and land on a post along Upper Dwyer Hill Road....pretty much
right across the road from the produce stand (northeast corner of the
intersection). I was further up the road at the time and was able to drive
up for a closer look. The western meadowlark sang briefly before flying
back into the field. Thanks.
Here is a photo taken earlier in the week. There is also a link to the
Cornell Birds website showing side by side specimens of the eastern and
western meadowlark.
