Observation details

Likely the same returning pair for the past 3 winters now. Meadowlarks with thin dark bars in mantle feathers, overall drab plumage, pale flanks with more of spotting appearance than stripes. Did not vocalize, skittish and remained distant. Photos. Will leave them as a slash until I get better photos of them or vocalization.
