The Eastern Meadowlark is one of the best-known birds of American farmlands. Its cheerful song is familiar in most rural areas, including south-central Canada. The Audubon Society Field Guide says meadowlarks are often polygamous with more than one female being found in the territory of a single male. Because they breeds in hayfields, their nests may destroyed by mowing but unless the season is well advanced, they will usually nest again.
They breed from southeastern Ontario, Nova Scotia, Minnesota, South Dakota, New Mexico, and Arizona through Central America to northern South America.
They are commonly found in moist meadows and fields and upper marsh edges. They have declined in the East in recent decades.
