Eastern? Meadowlark at Union Res. (Weld Co)

[Bill Prather]

A meadowlark that sings a clear Eastern Meadowlark song but with mostly Western Meadowlark plumage is on territory on the north side of Union Reservoir, east of Longmont(Weld County).  Along the straight stretch of road on the NW side of the lake the territory seems to be between the triple wood post on the west side and a single wood post about 15 fence posts to the east.  The bird is easy to photograph and record. It does not seem to have a mate at this point.  Bill and Inez Prather, Longmont
