A Western Meadowlark

I heard the call of this one before I saw him. The sound was coming from one place and then another and I still could not see him. Finally he flew up and landed on a dry stalk about forty feet away. I lifted up my lens and took the shot. That one shot was all he was going to allow me, he flew off right after I triggered the shutter.
