Description: -Photo by Kathy Munsel, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife- Western Meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) The Western Meadowlark can be found in grass- or sagebrush-dominated habitats throughout the state, the song and striking appearance of the Western Meadowlark create one of the most familiar and endearing avian images in Oregon. With its bold yellow breast and belly with a distinct black V across the chest and its habit of perching on fences along roadsides, the Western Meadowlark is one of Oregon's most recognizable birds. Fittingly, it was chosen as Oregon's state bird by a vote of Oregon schoolchildren ratified by the Legislature in 1927. Date: 19 February 2010, 00:18. Source: 0298_meadowlark_munsel_ODFW.
