Western Meadowlark - Wildhorse, AB
The songster of the grasslands is this large chunky bird with the golden throat. The Western Meadowlark is found from the Great Lakes west with some of the territory overlapping with the Eastern Meadowlark. The visual differences are few, but the song is substantially different. This makes for a much easier time where the two over lap. The bird was found just north of the Wildhorse border crossing in Alberta.
