Nice backlight "through" the claws. Our Western Meadowlarks up here (upper left corner, as Sr. Young says) have a more ruddy-toned breast and are often mistaken for "big robins" when they poke around the ground searching for worm sushi, etc. Sometimes the poke around our aluminum gutters - quite a racket but no damage. I rather have them around than not, that's for sure. One of my favorite Pacific Northwest birds. Thanks, Doug.
