Description
English:

Adult, male Western Meadowlark.

Because it had been neglected since Lewis and Clark’s mention in 1805, Audubon named the bird Sturnella neglecta, or Missouri Meadow-Lark. Although Audubon’s Latin name remains the bird’s official scientific nomenclature, it is now known commonly as the Western Meadowlark. And neglect is a circumstance of its past; the Western Meadowlark today is honored as the state bird of six states: Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wyoming. The study specimen pictured here was collected and accessioned into Fort Union Trading Post's museum collections (FOUS 57400) after being discovered dead of unknown causes on park property.
