Observation details
In Katy bottoms corn stubble, first heard a meadowlark giving the chuck or cluck call; saw it fly and join a group of others on power line, total 10. Bird in photo may or may not be the one I first heard, but both call and photo are diagnostic, and rest looked similarly fairly pale. In flight, a couple of others showed white outer rectrices not esp. broad. Seems safe to consider them all Westerns. This has been a regular location for this species for over a decade.
