Lark

A lark is a type of songbird that belongs to the family Alaudidae.

There are about 90 species of larks, most of them living in Africa and Eurasia.

Only one species, the horned lark, is native to North America.

Larks are known for their melodious and complex songs, which they often sing while flying high in the air or perching on the ground.

Larks are also known for their ability to adapt to different habitats, from deserts to grasslands to mountains.

Larks feed mainly on insects and seeds, and they build their nests on the ground or in low vegetation.

Larks have plain or streaked plumage that matches the color of the soil, and they have a distinctive eye-ring of white feathers.

Larks are symbols of joy, hope, and laughter in many cultures, as they herald the dawn with their cheerful songs.

Larks are a family of songbirds that have a cosmopolitan distribution, meaning they can be found in many different regions of the world.
However, the largest number of lark species occurs in Africa, where they inhabit various dry habitats such as grasslands, savannas, and deserts.
Only one lark species, the horned lark, is native to North America, where it lives in open areas with sparse vegetation, such as prairies, tundra.
Another lark species, Horsfield's bush lark, occurs in Australia, where it prefers grasslands and shrublands.
Larks are generally monogamous and territorial birds that nest on the ground, often in a shallow depression lined with grass and other plant materials.
Larks are adaptable and resilient birds that can survive in harsh and changing environments.
