Western Meadowlark on the wing
The smaller a bird is the harder it is to get flight shots of them and track them with a long lens so I was very happy to get this Western Meadowlark on the wing. The bill of my Western Meadowlark is a bit blurry even though I had a shutter speed of 1/2000 and the wings still show some motion blur but I do like the pose, the background and the eye contact.
Antelope Island State Park is a wonderful place to see and photograph Western Meadowlarks, they can be found all over the island.
Life is good.

Gorgeous shot, I love the Meadowlarks!
Love it.
Nice capture Mia. RadioWest rebroadcast the program they ran a few years back on falconry, I enjoyed hearing again.

Beautiful shot!
Wonderful in-flight shot, Mia! You’re right – very pleasing background.
Love it! Interesting observation about size and degree of difficulty.
Beautiful! I love it!
I always miss them in flight and I’m sure mine would come out blurry.
I haven’t been there for over two weeks. Except with Wayne one time.
Nice, on the wing too.
