It took something like 200 iterations to get Midjourney's Stable Diffusion instance to produce a singing meadowlark *with its mouth open as if singing.* It took almost as many to get the black band that runs across its chest...and NONE of the ones with their mouths open have a good band on them. Lots of cool birds in this series but most of them look like sparrows, woodpeckers, kingfishers, or hummingbirds. Not Sturnella neglecta. This is why post-processing in Photoshop remains a must.
