Meadowlark in Sheep Meadow

Scott Zevon took the great picture above of an Eastern Meadowlark in the Sheep Meadow last Thursday, November 2, 2006. This is an unusual bird for the park. Scott, who is often in the park photographing birds before or after office hours [he's a doctor] writes that it was 4:16 p.m.at the time, and the bird shared the meadow with at least fifty people, some lying on the grass, some walking around.
