What’s good for the meadowlark is good for North Dakota’s deer

The Western meadowlark is North Dakota’s state bird but did you know one of it’s closest relatives is the less embraced common blackbird?
Yes, meadowlarks are members of the blackbird family, which also includes orioles and bobolinks. A couple of other interesting facts: one nestling meadowlark consumes one-third pound of insects during its 12 days in the nest.
If you're not as impressed with its diet then maybe you’ll find yourself more interested to know meadowlarks and deer need and share a similar grassland home.
