Based on Barry's description, I too agree that the birds were meadowlarks; the flight behavior is spot-on. Plus, Yellow Rails probably never attain a height of 10' when flushing, and they usually don't fly more than a few feet. Plus, THREE birds at once is totally unprecedented for Florida. I don't think anybody has ever reported even two birds at once. Best regards, Bill Pranty Bayonet Point, Florida
