Shortly after noon today at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park, west of Columbus,  I was on the Darby Creek Greenway Trail just south of the road to the Nature Center. I heard a Western Meadowlark song from some distance away. I listened for several minutes but did not hear the song again. After perhaps thirty minutes I returned to the location and heard the song much closer. I quickly found the bird sitting on a fence post a few yards from the trail. I got some photos before it flew, but they are low quality and not diagnostic.
