RE: Do meadowlarks occur here in the winter?

["Neville, Ann (KUCC)" <kanevill at kennecott dot com>]

Out at the ISSR (on the south shore of GSL), I have Meadow Larks year round, as well as Red-winged blackbirds, marsh wrens, and Horned Larks (Ella Sorensen tells me there are larkspurs in some of those winter flocks). Occasionally killdeer, greater yellowlegs and avocet stay the winter.

Subject: Do meadowlarks occur here in the winter?


Hi all,
I am originally from Idaho where no real smart birds stick around for the 
winter since it is so cold.  It is mildly cold here as well and I was therefore 
surprised to hear lots of meadowlarks singing early last Saturday morning out 
west of Utah Lake near the Nutty-Putty caves.  I know I was surprised to see 
killdeer last winter and I was wondering if some meadowlarks do hang around 
year round in Utah.  

Thanks,
Quinn Shurtliff
