Alaudidae
Larks are passerine birds of the predominantly Old World family Alaudidae. Only one species, the Shore Lark, has spread to North America.
Larks are small terrestrial birds with often extravagant songs and display flights. They nest on the ground, laying 2-6 speckled eggs.
Most larks are fairly dull in appearance. Their food is insects and seeds.
