It was cold here yesterday. 29 degrees when I left home before daylight. I set out to photograph meadowlarks, and had a specific shot in mind, but it was too windy. Still got lots of shots.

Too bad you didn't get your planned shot. Still, you got some GREAT shots here. Now post something a little less perfect so we have something to nitpick on!

Lovely work, Phoebe.
The second seems to have picked up the light better as he was turned a bit more toward the camera.

Beautiful shots! I have a lot of work to do to produce images in the same league as this. Thanks for the inspiration.
