10/24. 2:50-3:30pm. Westport, Sherwood Is. - what we believe was the WESTERN MEADOWLARK afforded great views in the grass near the model airplane tarmac. It was a distinctly grayer and paler and slimmer/smaller bird, with definite white flanks. Good looks in direct comparison to two Easterns. Many photos.
