Craig Tooley recently trained his camera on a beautiful bird, which is called a Western Meadowlark.

They can be found in grasslands and meadows, pastures also. They are members of the Blackbird family and they are insect eaters. In other words, you won't find this robin-sized bird at a seed feeder. They have a flute-like call, which you can hear at this link: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Western_Meadowlark/sounds

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.ruffimage.com

We had a nice wet storm overnight, Friday night. There was 1.60 inches in our rain gauge. And mushrooms will be in our immediate future. More rain tonight!
