The Eastern Meadowlark is a bright, loud, and cheery presence in tallgrass prairies and farmland across eastern North America, the Central Americas and parts of South America.
The male’s song generally consists of 3-5 plaintive whistles, slurred together into a single melody. Generally they sing from an exposed perch, but have been known to sometimes sing in flight.
Learning to identify birdsong by ear can be a satisfying skill for anyone who has interest in birds and nature. In this podcast, birdsong recordist Rob Porter introduces you to the songs found in various habitats across North America.
