Meadowlarks can be seen with moderate regularity at Marymoor Park in
Redmond during the winter months. I would guess I see them about once a
month (1 visit in 4) in the winter and early spring, with numbers
ranging from 1 to 15 birds. They do not appear to nest at Marymoor,
however. I don't know where these birds are from, nor where else they
spend the winter months (during those 3 visits in 4 that I don't see
them).

There would not appear to be much meadowlark habitat remaining in
western Washington.
