meadowlark
Yellow-breasted grassland bird
A meadowlark is a North American songbird with a bright yellow breast marked by a distinctive black V-shaped band.
Known for their clear, flute-like song, meadowlarks are ground-nesting birds of open grasslands and prairies.
Despite the name, they're not true larks but belong to the blackbird family.
