Western Meadowlarks migrate in small numbers right along the ocean. I have had
them on the lawn at Depoe Bay, which is on the sea cliff. It seemed strange at
first to me as well. I have also seen them in dune grass along the ocean at
various locations.

Glanced out a few minutes ago and noticed one of the "starlings" on the wire
appeared to have a yellowish cast. I thought it might be the light but
grabbed my bins just in case - it was a WESTERN MEADOWLARK, clinging to the
wire in the wind. Very unusual considering my 'backyard' is mostly ocean.
