There have been discussions of Steve's sighting of a meadowlark on the Cloquest Line recently and yesterday I saw 3 meadowlarks and 20 white-tailed deer in the some open grassy areas of the Ely Cemetery.
This area provides good places and habitat to watch for migrants and meadowlarks have been seen at the cemetery and the softball fields nearby in past years. I wasn't able to get very close and good photos of the meadowlarks. It was late in the day. And identification of eastern or western would likely not have been possible in any case.
