 This is an image I was able to get earlier this year.  It is one of my favorite birds to capture as they never sit long and especially don't seem to want their photo taken.  I got lucky with this capture.  This is a Western Meadowlark which is the state bird of Kansas where I live.  They have been declining in numbers in recent years but we have had several around our area this year so hopefully they are doing OK.  I captured this one looking for bugs in the grass this spring.
