A couple days ago I posted a photo from our hike in the Badlands of South Dakota. When we begin that hike, I had resigned myself to the idea that I was not going to photograph many of my flying friends (birds). Well, I was SO wrong.
As we made our way though the park, I heard the most beautiful, unique and distinctive bird call. There was actually two of them. I could only see one, but he was dressed in cool looking yellow and black tux. He would lift his head toward the sky and offer this cool performance. No dancing, no special movements ... just beautiful music.
So, what was this bird? It was a Western Meadowlark. I am so grateful to have seen this. Wow.
