I spotted a first of the year Eastern Meadowlark near Aurora. The bird was in a field off of Carpenter Rd . about a quarter of a mile west of the intersection of Carpenter and Black Rock Rd. Take Poplar Ridge Rd east off of Rt.90 to Black Rock Rd., turn right and proceed south to Carpenter, turn right and proceed about a quarter of a mile. I will post a couple of photos on eBird.
