11/16. Stratford, Sikorsky Airport, 11:30.  6 meadowlarks at Sikorsky Airport, Stratford. One was noticeably paler - possible Western. Just to right of geese viewed from old FAA building lot near entrance. Flushed back further by a Merlin, closer to and right of goose flock. Have to study a few photos.

Several who saw my back-of-camera photo think it’s an Eastern Meadowlark.
