Lilian's Meadowlark is a subspecies of meadowlark, often considered a distinct species by some authorities, characterized by its bright yellow breast with a black 'V' and pale streaking on its flanks. It inhabits arid grasslands of the southwestern United States and Mexico.
Where to spot
Found in arid grasslands and prairies of the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Texas) and northern Mexico. Often found in slightly higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for it singing from low perches like shrubs or fence posts in open desert grasslands. Its song is similar to other meadowlarks but may have subtle regional variations.
When to spot
Primarily present during the breeding season (spring and summer) in its northern range, and year-round in its southern, warmer territories.
This meadowlark is adapted to arid environments, often found in grasslands with scattered shrubs and cacti, unlike its more widespread relatives.
