Eastern Meadowlark is singing its song. This video has no audio, and was taken March 7, 2024 in DeSoto County, Florida. Video shot in slow motion.
From Cornell Lab of Ornithology's AllAboutBirds.org: "The male Eastern Meadowlark’s primary song consists of 3 to 5 (sometimes up to 8) pure and plaintive flutelike whistles all slurred together and gradually dropping in pitch, up to 2 seconds long. Male have a repertoire of songs, singing one song repeatedly for a time and then switching to a different version. They typically sing from an exposed perch, but occasionally sing in flight as well."
See the All About Birds website for song examples from its Macaulay Library.
