RE: [cayugabirds-l] meadowlark migration question

Thanks Geo! For the first time I saw the whole account from Bent. It is 
impressive and in such details too.  I had no clue I could get this book on the 
internet.
Thanks for sharing this!

Bent says that Meadowlarks form roving bands in August, after the breeding 
season is done, and that by mid-October most of these have left Ontario and 
Quebec for points south. So it seems likely that migrants from north of the 
border are now moving through our area.

We have meadowlarks breeding in the fields around our house every year, and I 
haven't heard or seen them since August, but suddenly there were some singing 
and foraging again this weekend. Have they been around but silent? Do they 
migrate after their young fledge and these are migrants from further north? Why 
the disappearance and sudden reappearance? Any insight greatly appreciated.

I certainly enjoyed hearing them again!
