western meadowlark
Yellow-breasted plains singer
A North American songbird of open grasslands and prairies, known for its bright yellow breast with a distinctive black V-shaped marking.
The western meadowlark is the state bird of six U.S. states.
Its flute-like song differs from the similar-looking eastern meadowlark, though their ranges overlap: We heard a western meadowlark singing from a fence post.
