The Eastern Meadowlark is a medium-sized songbird found primarily in open fields, grasslands, and agricultural areas across eastern North America. It has a distinctive yellow breast with a black "V" shape, and its back is brown and streaked. This bird is known for its melodious song, which is often heard during the breeding season.
Eastern Meadowlarks primarily feed on insects, seeds, and fruits. They build their nests on the ground, usually hidden among grasses to protect them from predators. These birds are migratory, moving south in the winter to find warmer climates, often returning to the same breeding grounds each spring.
