Birds of Kentucky: Meadowlark maybe 2024-01-10 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold. Veronica writes, "I saw a good flock of these birds descend into my fields. At first I thought gold breasted bunting or a warbler. But now I believe it to be an Eastern Meadow Lark. While yellow breasted, he has a collar-like stripe of black, and brownish black stripes/specs down his back side. Picture isnt great as taken through a window and zoomed in. Too cold be grabbing these beautiful birds outside." Have a positive ID? Use our Comment Form to let us know. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
