	Meadowlark numbers are dropping http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1214310267 One alarming story is the plight of the once-common meadowlark. Meadowlarks are classic birds of grasslands. Meadowlarks are so beloved that numerous states have claimed it as their state bird. Every American farm kid now over the age of 50 grew up with the call of the meadowlark being about as common as that of a robin today. Sadly, that is no longer true.

It is not that they are threatened with extinction anytime soon; rather, they went from common to uncommon, from rural icon to rural alarm call, all in a few decades.

The songbirds will sing
in meadows and verdant trees
