Beautiful photos! You were lucky to see a Meadowlark. I haven't seen one in years

I just read recently they are related to bobolinks, red-winged blackbirds and cowbirds, all of which were on the same mountain. I saw this guy in near Richland Center. We did a mini vacation at a farmer's cabin on top of a hill in the driftless area.
That is a beautiful area... especially in the spring when the orchards are in bloom. I remember finding meadowlark nests when I was a kid and being very protective of my knowledge of their location, They seemed so vulnerable.
My daughter and her husband were over that way this week and said the mosquitos were horrible. They bought head nets for their next hike.
Ah yes they were terrible when I was there too, have to figure out what the best spray/net combination works best. I guess larks, redwings and bob0links are all ground nesting. There was even a killdeer nearby with a nest over there, lots of ground nests at that cabin.
