I remember waking up to the trill of this sweet bird. I can close my eyes and be back there on our small farm when I hear them. With my family safe at home. I am now 70.
I am 70 as well. We had meadowlarks in WI and in OR. I sure miss them. We used to have a crow court in front of our house. They are all gone now Our neighbor has outdoor cats 😭
Me too. As a kid in the early 60s, we lived in the very north end of Bismarck - before the interstate went in. My dad used to whistle just like a meadowlark. He'd have "conversations" with them that went on for quite some time. Hearing their song now brings me such nostalgic joy.
I used to hear this bird in the springtime when I lived with my grandparents in rural southern Utah. My cat loved watching them. To this day, many years later, she reacts more strongly to this bird's call than to any other, even though we moved away from there a long time ago. I have distinct memories of sitting out on the porch with her in the mornings, with hardly a care in the world, just watching all the birds that would come forage for bugs.
Beautiful. One word for them in Cree is "wasepescan". Another is "opîscîwâcikwasow" - which looks like a hard word to say but it almost sounds like that's what they are singing.
Probably the most magical sound I have ever heard. Meadowlarks are my favorite. Another wild bird sound I really like are Killdeers. Grew up with a lot of those in Central CA
Like many here.....this was the sound of my youth growing up in Kansas. I attended 6th Grade in a country school house......no A/C in those days so the windows were open in Spring and Fall. The school, surrounded by wheat fields were full of birds singing etc., but nothing sounded sweeter than the meadowlarks. Many Thanks......now......time for a nap and sweet dreams. (smile)😊
Interesting. Had to look it up because I always thought it was just Wyoming's state bird. Turns out it is also the state bird of Oregon, Kansas, Montana, and Nebraska. 6 states in total.
Grew up in eastern Montana, and would wake up to the beautiful sound of our State Bird. Don't hear them now that we live in TX. Miss them and the robins.
@@endergamerboardy231 Lol I see I’m not the only one coming from Charles Hall. I find it so odd that they could make those sounds, and at the same time have the ability to speak like humans
They like open space. I live 3 miles from straight up country, but I don't hear any of these guys till I'm in the country... they won't touch suburbia. Love their song and always have.
This song unlocked a core memory for me. I was sitting on my couch, stuffing my fat face full of popcorn watching Star Wars. I can close my eyes and still hear the sounds, "Reeeaargghh, rraah, aarrggghhaarrr".
I watched a documentary on the tall white people that are extra terrestrials and in that documentary they said that they sound like this bird when they communicate to eachother. So I came here to hear it.
these birds used to be everywhere here in southern Ontario as a child, I remember watching them in meadows, but sadly now, they are very hard to find. What can I do to attract them back?
My undergrad research is going to be on the Chihuahuan meadowlark. In southeastern kansas as I write this, going to do some research on them this weekend.
Are there any bird experts out there? I heard a bird with the most beautiful song but did not see it/ cannot find a proper audio clip to identify it. I can recreate the song, however. What should I do to find out the type of bird? Any kind, helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
Probably a western meadowlark. Each individual has its own unique take on the same song. A sort of melodic fingerprint. The song pattern is mostly the same, but the exact melody differs for each bird.

Simpler times.
I am 70 as well. We had meadowlarks in WI and in OR. I sure miss them.
We used to have a crow court in front of our house. They are all gone now

Their song is nostalgic to me. I spent a lot of time outside growing up rural in North Dakota. These birds sound like childhood to me 🙂
Same here! ^^

Same here in Montana. No better sound to wake up to
Richardton on a dairy farm 💕
I too grew up on a farm in northwestern North Dakota and these calls are the sound of my childhood summers. Lovely!
We have hundreds of these on our farm. This is the sound of my youth
The meadowlark and the red-winged blackbird are my two favorite bird calls.
Me, too :) I grew up in Eastern Oregon and heard both all the time
same but in SE Wyoming haha.
Me too!

This is basically the Shoshone tribe's rooster in the morning. It's called a "Hito" in the Shoshone language.

Op snake eater
The meadowlarks used to sit on the fence by our 1 room schoolhouse and serenade us, it was great. Thanks.
Incredibly beautiful. I want to hear it every morning
Fun fact - this is actually the state bird of Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon and Wyoming!
Oregon? Like... Gravity Falls?
They seem to be able to throw their voices. Whenever I hear them singing, I have a hard time locating their exact location.
Good point
Tall whites sound exactly like this
I've heard this call my whole life AND seen pictures of these birds just never put the two together until today
they do, c: badlands, s d
From Central Montana here this is arguably the best sounding bird in the world it just gives this beautiful carefree sound.
I really love these beautiful birds! I lived in Montana for nearly 7 years and saw them and heard them a lot. I miss them and I miss Montana!
I had 4 in my oak tree this morning! Such a beautiful song ❤
Lived in so cal in the 60s and 70s before the area was overdeveloped. These birds were all over the meadow/pasturelands by my home. Loved it.
Charles Hall described the tall white aliens’ native language as sounding like meadowlarks
You must've watched the same documentary I just watched 😂
I’m here from the chilluminati podcast
Why did people dislike this video? It’s such a beautiful song.
Probably the most magical sound I have ever heard. Meadowlarks are my favorite.
Another wild bird sound I really like are Killdeers.
Grew up with a lot of those in Central CA

The state bird of North Dakota. You know summer has arrived when you can hear them in the marshes.
Interesting. Had to look it up because I always thought it was just Wyoming's state bird. Turns out it is also the state bird of Oregon, Kansas, Montana, and Nebraska. 6 states in total.
One of my favorite birds!! Beautiful song.
Growing up in Wyoming this is heaven to hear them. Greatest songs ever to hear.
Grew up in eastern Montana, and would wake up to the beautiful sound of our State Bird. Don't hear them now that we live in TX. Miss them and the robins.
Such a lovely voice and a welcome song for Spring. Thank you! Best regards, Thomas
Never knew this bird existed until I saw it in a dream
Its the tall whites making contact
@@endergamerboardy231 Lol I see I’m not the only one coming from Charles Hall. I find it so odd that they could make those sounds, and at the same time have the ability to speak like humans
This is nostalgic, because
when I was a boy I had a favorite story of a meadowlark who lives where the rivers wind.
I've heard these birds my whole life whenever I go to the mountains and I've never known what they were called.
Saw one today in our backyard in Colorado. 🥰
Apparently the species of tall white extraterrestrials sounds a lot like these birds.
A beautiful video. My favorite kind of trophy, nothing had to die.
My favorite field song bird ever. Saturday mornings with the window open in my youth...
Love hearing these when hunting or scouting in Idaho 🥰🥰
Listen to the curved bill thrasher. SO beautiful..
I miss the meadowlarks back home in Oregon.
I grew up with these birds in our area, Now , I have not heard them for Years..
Urban Sprawl, the Death of us ALL !
Fantastic. I love this song.
They like open space. I live 3 miles from straight up country, but I don't hear any of these guys till I'm in the country... they won't touch suburbia. Love their song and always have.
I love this birdcall it sounds like a flute😊
Love your video too much! Thank you!
me veo en mi escuela otra vez,observando a esta aves cantar por las mañanas....Qué tiempos!!
This song unlocked a core memory for me. I was sitting on my couch, stuffing my fat face full of popcorn watching Star Wars. I can close my eyes and still hear the sounds, "Reeeaargghh, rraah, aarrggghhaarrr".
Every morning I wake up at my dad’s farm I hear this!
Love this, one of my favorite birds. My other favorite is the male Ring Neck Pheasant. ^^
I watched a documentary on the tall white people that are extra terrestrials and in that documentary they said that they sound like this bird when they communicate to eachother. So I came here to hear it.
Charles White brought me here
I’ve never ever heard one in real life. Maybe someday. It would be a dream come true!
To think this is what the "tall whites" sound like in their native tongue!
I love their song.
Always know I'm in the Southwest when I hear these fellows! :)
I love the sound of that bird in The western of Montana.
these birds used to be everywhere here in southern Ontario as a child, I remember watching them in meadows, but sadly now, they are very hard to find. What can I do to attract them back?
Alberta memories. Beautiful.
"Walking with the tall whites"
yup.
@@NumericCubic you watched that?
@@liketodriverealyfast Yup, was very interesting.
@@NumericCubic definitely. Most convincing I've seen.. thank you for your reply
So apparently this is how the Tall White aliens sound.
I love the song of the western meadowlark.
I’m not from North Dakota, nor been there.
But this bird is so beautiful.
Love those water notes
theyre so beautiful
How could anyone possibly give a thumbs down to a meadowlark song?
My undergrad research is going to be on the Chihuahuan meadowlark. In southeastern kansas as I write this, going to do some research on them this weekend.
If R2-D2 was a bird
Wow. I like the "acrobatics" in the first few songs!
To me, this is the sound of western Nebraska, and I miss it.
Louis L'Amour brought me here.
Are there any bird experts out there? I heard a bird with the most beautiful song but did not see it/ cannot find a proper audio clip to identify it. I can recreate the song, however. What should I do to find out the type of bird? Any kind, helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
I heard this bird around the Saskatchewan/ Montana border yesterday on a road trip. The song is: do-do-do-DO-DO-DO....do-do.
Probably a western meadowlark. Each individual has its own unique take on the same song. A sort of melodic fingerprint. The song pattern is mostly the same, but the exact melody differs for each bird.
How interesting! Thank you for sharing that.
Kansas gang where you at!
such an awesome bird.... usin it for bird speech
This was your only video filmed in the Western US.
Interesting! They sound different from the New Mexico group. Very different dialect. Thank you!
Alien language
Who are the 8 Evil, Stupid Morons that gave this Beautiful Bird, a Little Bit of Heaven on Earth, a negative feedback ?
Beautiful, please also list the camera and lense in the description
Morning in Nebraska.
I heard a Red-Winged Blackbird, and a Yellow-Headed Blackbird before the first call of this
What is the call in the background at 0:05
Torrrtillaaaaa. Con chilleeee molido
Wonderful filming and spot on soundtrack. What audio recording gear was used here? Keep up the very good work!!
I love you little one
Yay, Sennheiser ! Love them German technologies...😄
What microphone? Sound is amazing.
Dat recording.
my mascot in school is a meadowlark-
Can I get permission to use this clip in my video podcast? I just self-published a book of bird tales that includes a poem, The Meadowlark.
what they eat can anyone say
Pisano Ranch, Evergreen, California
is this free to use with credit given ofc ??
No. It would need to be licensed.
@@mcelroyproductions76 ok thank you !
anyone know what other birds are in the background?
I only know two, Red-Winged Blackbird, and the Yellow-Headed Blackbird.
and that is at the very beginning
0:00 RWBL
0:04 YHBL
0:12 SASP
0:24 WISN
0:41 ? not sure about this brief trill
0:45 SASP again and WISN winnowing faintly
These birds use to be pretty prolific in So. Calif. until all the open fields were turned into housing tracks and shopping centers. Sad!
Sweet liquid notes.
R2D2 :]
#bitds brought me here
*HEY SIXER*
MALFUNCTIONING ROBOT
Sound like the white tall aliens
Montana state bird
A NRA membership ad popped up on the bird! Argh!
Owl City anyone??
This wasn't even close to their full song.
