Yesterday I heard my first meadowlark of the year but I couldn't locate it. Today it is singing in the field across the street and I was able to watch it for a while, a welcome splash of yellow in an otherwise brown field. I wonder what birds will return next... Bird!Eric -- Cayugabirds-L

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.

I would agree on the first broods being out and fly-worthy by now, most likely. And second or later broods are probably generally less successful, at least in such birds as Red-winged Blackbirds that actually do NOT raise two broods around here, although they may try-try-again as many as 4

The NY breeding season table in the BBA handbook says 1-2 broods for Eastern Meadowlark, but gives no indication of how common second broods might be. I suppose you could watch the field closely for evidence of a second nesting, but if your goal is to win the cooperation of farmers, then it
