 Today's bird is the Kansas state bird, the Western Meadowlark.  I had a lot of opportunities to see and photograph them the first half of this year.  I like this photo because it shows them in a fairly common state, singing on the prairie.  Often I hear them but don't see them.  Our Meadowlarks seem to stick around for the most part, all year round and are identified by the yellow breast and black V band at the neck.
