Western Meadowlark:

Western Meadowlark was designated as the state bird in 1937. Approximately the size of a robin, the meadowlark sports a yellow breast with a black bib over its mottled brown body. Their nests are situated on the ground, and are covered with a roof woven from grass.

Western Meadowlarks are permanent residents throughout much of their range.These birds forage on the ground or in low to semi-low vegetation. They sometimes search for food by probing with their bills. They mainly eat insects, although they will devour seeds and berries. In winter, these birds often feed in flocks.These birds have a flute-like warbled song.
