Strange but that is the state bird for louisana too.

I thought the Wicked Witch was the state bird of Kansas. The mosquito is the state bird of Georgia

We must be back in Kansas Dorothy, I see a S. Neglecta. Nice to be home Auntie Em.:) Those Meadowlarks once drove my young lab pup nuts until he figured he could'nt catch them and we would'nt shoot them.

ow... my grandson came home one evening telling me of all the quail he was seeing kinda got my attention we grabbed our guns and off we went it turned out they were meadow larks. wish i could have took a picture of his face he was so imbarrassed... charlie

At least he knows he should be looking for quail.

Back when the KS limit was 12 quail, a fella stopped at a check in station on I-70 during deer season to show off his 12...all Meadow Larks...$100 each :shock:

My wife and I really have the itch to come out west and hunt pheasants and maybe sharptails. Not this year, but hopefully soon. Is all the hype about South Dakota justified or are there good places elsewhere too? From these photos, I could go with Kansas

Bruce and Drew, would you please quit broadcasting it?! I remember a day afield when my late father-in-law, noting the over-abundance of plates from a neighboring state, said disgustedly, "I feel like I'm in downtown Denver!"

Kansas 'farmers' likely have an advanced degree from KU or K-State and don't take kindly to some sport from Johnson Co. talking down to them, when one of their kids is likely to be the sport's senior partner at Spencer Fane Britt & Browne in KC or boss at Sprint:nono:
