Jamie Glydon reports 2 Eastern Meadowlarks at Veterans Memorial Park in Whippany.
As quoted earlier in the year from Wade Wander in a post of his to the Sussex Bird List dated March 25, 2011: “Eastern Meadowlark has been proposed for Special Concern status in NJ because of its declining breeding, migrant, and wintering populations. All observations of EM are worth reporting.”
According to eBird data Jamie’s sighting is the first of Eastern Meadowlark in Morris County since April! There were two sightings of single birds in March (one by this author) and two of single birds in April. This is quite a change from the 1990s where Eastern Meadowlark is shown as a confirmed nester in several Morris County blocks of the Breeding Bird Atlas in Birds of New Jersey by Walsh, Elia, Kane and Halliwell published by the New Jersey Audubon Society in 1999.

This seems to be a decent spot for Eastern Meadowlark in Fall. Last year I had 7 birds on October 20 and 5, on October 21.
I flushed a single Meadowlark at the Tourne (sparrow fields) about 2 years ago in the fall.
