Enjoying Eastern Meadowlarks in Osceola County

Osceola County is great for birding, and one reason is that I always come across Eastern Meadowlarks there.

While driving down Joe Overstreet Road or exploring the Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area, I can’t remember a time I didn’t see a least one Eastern Meadowlark.

And hearing their song makes me smile. Here’s how AllAboutBirds.org describes it: “The male Eastern Meadowlark’s primary song consists of 3 to 5 (sometimes up to 8) pure and plaintive flutelike whistles all slurred together and gradually dropping in pitch, up to 2 seconds long.”

Eastern Meadowlarks are by no means rare to see in Osceola or Florida, but I still have fun photographing them.
