Distinctive Black Collar

This is one of our favorite, colorful songbirds. This time of year the Western Meadowlarks colors are a deep yellow with a stunning black necklace ! This fellow was singing away as we slowed down, got in position, and took this image. Western Meadowlarks look distinctively different from other members of the blackbird family. They have streaked brown upperparts and solid yellow underparts with a distinct black collar.
