Yellow Tux.
“Sun-kissed elegance: An Eastern Meadowlark dons its vibrant yellow plumage.” - Copilot
This photo of an eastern meadowlark (Sturnella magna) looks to me like it is wearing a yellow tux and black shirt, or perhaps the yellow is a vest. The bird looks like somebody strolling around with his hands behind his back.
"The Eastern Meadowlark is not in the lark family (Alaudidae)—it’s a member of the blackbird family (Icteridae), which also includes cowbirds and orioles." - allaboutbirds.org

BOTD: Eastern Meadowlark
Photo: John Sutton
"A familiar bird, known by the black 'V' on its chest when it sings from a fencepost, or by the flash of white tail feathers when it flushes from the grass. The clear whistled song of the Eastern Meadowlark can be heard in spring not only in the East but also in desert grasslands of the Southwest. Some scientists believe that the southwestern form is actually a different species. Other races of the Eastern Meadowlark are widespread in Central America and northern South America."
- Audubon Field Guide

Sorry about the shakiness. When I zoom too far it’s impossible to keep the image steady. This is an eastern meadowlark singing. I consider them among the most oddly-shaped, ungainly birds we have but I love their song, which sounds nostalgic to me, like they’re longing for something. I just love to see them.

Attitude, get some.
This eastern meadowlark (Sturnella magna) looks agitated about something.
"The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their brown-and-black dappled upperparts camouflage the birds among dirt clods and dry grasses. But up on perches, they reveal bright-yellow underparts and a striking black chevron across the chest." - allaboutbirds.org

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
Take a look:

05/06/23 Spring Bird Count
Yesterday’s Spring Bird Count was the best I’ve experienced since first joining up almost 10 years ago! I had two lifers on this count (i.e., birds I’ve never seen before): Smith’s Longspur and Short-Billed Dowitcher. We had good warbler species and got some great shorebird species, which is a demographic we usually have a hard time getting in our territories.
Anyway, species pictured:
1. Least Sandpiper
2. Lesser Yellowlegs
3. Semipalmated Plover
4. Smith’s Longspur
5. Eastern Towhee
6. Eastern Meadowlark
7. Guineafowl (not included in the count)
8. Brown Earth Snake (not included in the count)
