Song of the Prairie

Western Meadowlark

You hear it long before you see it.

A western meadowlark singing from a prairie stalk, its bright yellow breast and black V turned to the sun, the streaked brown of its back blending into the grass behind it. Drawn in the manner of a vintage field-guide plate.

Out on the eastern plains of Colorado, the meadowlark is a voice before it is a bird. Its song carries a long way across open grass, a bright, liquid, flute-like phrase that early settlers thought was the prettiest sound on the prairie. The bird itself is built to disappear: seen from behind it is all streaked brown, nearly invisible in dry grass, until it turns and that yellow breast catches the light like a struck match. It is the state bird of six other states and somehow not this one, though anyone who has stood in a Colorado grassland at dawn and heard it would tell you that is an oversight.
