Jerry Ball and I easily refound the Western Meadowlark this evening at 7:00 p.m. Once we could open our windows after the rain, and thunder and lightening, we could hear the bird singing beautifully from above the car. It was on the power lines. When we got out of the car, it flushed and flew west of Brawton Rd again sitting on the power lines along Patterson. A few minutes later it flew about 100 meters east of Brawton.
