2014 Eastern Meadowlark – Coloured Coin
13th coin in our popular Birds of Canada series! Order today!
Every summer, a melodic song like a sliding whistle fills the air above the open fields and grasslands of southern Ontario and east to the St. Lawrence Valley. It’s the happy tune of the eastern meadowlark, a medium-sized songbird that isn’t a lark, but a member of the blackbird family.
This cheerful bird often sings in full view from an exposed branch or fence post, and its vibrant colours make it easy to spot. It has a yellow throat and belly, and a distinctive black v-shaped collar. In contrast, its back and wings are a darker pattern of mottled black and brown—the perfect camouflage for walking on the ground and digging in the soil for insects.
When the meadowlark flies, it alternates between a few rapid wing beats and graceful glides—a distinctive flight pattern that only adds to the endearing nature of this delightful bird.
A beautiful gift for people who love birds, natural imagery, exquisite natural artwork and Canadian themes. Order yours today!
