Between the Lines

Description

I was hoping to come across some Bluebirds over the weekend, but I didn't get to see them at all. The temperature had dropped quite a bit and we had gotten snow over the weekend, so I think they went somewhere a little warmer for the time being. The Meadowlarks on the other hand, have all stuck around, I am seeing some larger groups in the mornings, which is amazing to see. This time I had pulled over, I saw about 20 flying around and land in a hillside by the road, so I pulled over and rolled my window down and just sat in my vehicle watching them collecting insects from the ground. I saw one fly to a fence post and decided to focus on it, when it took off towards the ground, I wasn't sure if I got the shot, but quickly looking at my cameras screen, I saw that I did get the shot. I loved that it was placed in between the barbed wire fence.
