Grasslands and prairies support a number of polygynous species as well, including meadowlarks, bobolinks, dickcissels, lark buntings, and great-tailed grackles. |
I pulled over at Schaar's Bluff, turned off my car and just sat and listened, beyond the bluebirds and meadowlarks you could hear tree sparrows and red-winged blackbirds. |
Birdwatchers can explore the Grasslands Trail, where eastern meadowlarks, horned larks, grasshopper sparrows, and Sprague's pipits seek refuge. |
Orioles, along with grackles, blackbirds, meadowlarks, and oropendolas, belong to a family called the Icteridae, which are found only in the New World. |
I did see other signs of spring including listening to eastern meadowlarks and eastern bluebirds. |
Meadowlarks are primarily insectivorous during the breeding season, and Orthopterans represent a primary source of prey. |
