[cobirds] Eastern (Eastern) Meadowlark - Fremont County (mostly)

There's a singing Eastern Meadowlark (eastern subspecies) -- photos and recordings have been submitted to ebird (and hopefully the Colorado Birds Records Committee at some point) near the T intersection of Custer County Road 297 and Custer/Fremont County Road 298.  The bird is usually in the alfalfa field on the northside of County Road (which is Fremont County), if it flies across the road to the south it is in (Custer County).  The bird was first found on May 27th, and continues this morning, June 1st.  Mostly the bird seems to stay in Fremont County, though at least a few times it has wandered across the road into Custer County.  If you go east on Hwy 96, from Wetmore to County Road 297 and follow that road north to the T intersection, you'll be in the right place.  At some point the alfalfa fields in this area will be cut, so who knows how long the meadowlark will be around.  There are lots of Western Meadowlarks here too.
