Bird flushed from the top of hill area by the cattle feeder, showing white outer tail feathers. It flew straight up and away toward SW then started heading back (still very high) but landed west and down the hill from the feeder. No audio or photo, but it wasn't a meadowlark.
I walked down to the small, dry pond and back up to the feeder and across the ridge to Wachiska woods, but didn't see it again. It was probably about 10:45am when I saw it.
I have SPPI photos from Oct 1, 2024, so it's about time for them.
