Description
Oregon’s state bird can be found perched on fence posts or atop shrubs in open grassy plains, filling the air with its flute-like song. The western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) is about the size of a robin with a solid yellow breast and distinctive black collar. It has a long pointed bill that it pokes into the soil to search for insects during the summer and seeds during the winter. This ground-nesting bird is polygynous—males typically mate with at least two females per breeding season. Females make dome-shaped nests out of grass in small depressions on the ground, and they incubate their eggs there for about two weeks. After another two weeks, the newly hatched meadowlarks are ready to leave the nest and, while they can’t fly, they can run rather well and begin to forage for themselves.
