the Surveyor



This western meadowlark sings from the survey marker most of the day, every day. His mate and and the nest must be close by somewhere. There are scattered ponderosa pines in the surrounding grassland, but he likes this spot the best. The grasslands are full of early summer prairie wildflowers at the moment, so on a June afternoon he is the lord of all he surveys and his kingdom is beautiful.
