Small bird species include mountain bluebirds, western meadowlarks, white-crowned sparrows, lark sparrows, and sage grouse. Western meadowlarks, American kestrels, red-tailed hawks and turkey vultures are frequently glimpsed. Species such as meadowlarks, sparrows and finches suffer from blowflies. The open fields are home to woodcocks, meadowlarks and eastern bluebirds. Meadowlarks are New World grassland birds belonging to genera "Sturnella" and "Leistes". Only the "yellow-breasted" meadowlarks (eastern and western meadowlarks, including Lilian's) remained in the genus "Sturnella". Western meadowlarks are permanent residents throughout much of their range. Fanita's brother Ronald was already a success with his vocal group, The Meadowlarks. The genus Sturnella are North American grassland birds called meadowlarks. Luke Dent moved on to create the band Meadowlarks. By the early 20th century, the meadowlarks were split. By the early 20th century, the meadowlarks were split again. The Meadowlarks is considered the first integrated doo-wop group. As a group, the meadowlarks have had a volatile taxonomic history. By the late 20th century, all meadowlarks were lumped in the genus Sturnella.
