Western Meadowlark, Sturnella neglecta. Common in grasslands, fields, and prairies. Found across the west and into the midwest, some going north for breeding in central Canada, and wintering through the midwest and Mexico. Their diet consists mainly of insects but will also eat seeds and berries. During breeding season, the female builds the nest and broods while the male brings her insects that she feeds to the young. The Western Meadowlark is the state bird of six states, including Kansas.
