During the spring Western Meadowlarks (Sturnella neglecta) can be easy to locate and then approach because they spend so much time singing from the tops of boulders, bushes, posts and other manmade objects.
I photographed this Meadowlark singing while perched on a sign on Antelope Island State Park this past Monday.
The bird was so close that unless I took off my teleconverter I couldn’t fit the whole body of the Meadowlark into the frame.
I wasn’t sure how long the bird would stay so I opted to take close ups of it instead of removing the TC.
