lark

Any of a group of songbirds found mainly in the Old World, but also in North America. Larks are brownish-tan in colour and usually about 18 cm/7 in long; they nest on the ground in the open. The skylark (Alauda arvensis) sings as it rises almost vertically in the air. It is light brown and 18 cm/7 in long. (Family Alaudidae, order Passeriformes.)

The skylark has been introduced to Vancouver Island. The North American horned lark (Eremophila alpestris) has black ‘horns’ and only a weak, twittering song. The woodlark (Lullula arborea) and the crested lark (Galerida cristata) belong to the same family. The Australian lark belongs to the genus Mirafra.
