Meadowlark Take-off

Just a single image this time.

While photographing magpies at their nest this morning this cheeky Western Meadowlark had the gall to land right next door to the nest for a few seconds before it took off again.

I’d taken the teleconverter off for the larger magpies so it’s a bit of a heftier crop than I’d prefer and I wish I had a little more room up top for composition.  And there’s some “stuff” in front of the bird but despite all that I liked the shot anyway.

These meadowlarks are beginning to sing up a storm out on the island.
