Welcome spring!
Caught this meadowlark singing in the outside the Horicon visitor. I hope its a sign of warmer weather. :wavey:

Well, the snow is gone at least.

Nice shot. With all of the space around the bird you have some creative crop options.

I love meadowlarks. What a treat to get this one singing.

Thanks, Kendall, Philip, Deb. They have a very beautiful song - I find it very uplifting. Now, if only they allow me a little closer while they sing.

Kendall, I thought the snow was gone too, but we get some rain/snow mix couple of days back. At least it didn't stick this time.

Philip, unfortunately this is a bit of a crop as it is - let me see if I can crop any further without losing sharpness. :wavey:

I like the fact that you caught him in the act of singing....nice pose, Govind! Wish I could find a few of them.

Thanks, Toni. You are always welcome to our neck of the woods to get some. :smile:
