Rufous-tailed Lark
The rufous-tailed lark (''Ammomanes phoenicura''), also sometimes called the rufous-tailed finch-lark, is a ground bird found in the drier open stony habitats of India and parts of Pakistan. Like other species in the genus it has a large finch-like bill with a slightly curved edge to the upper mandible. The dull brown colour matches the soil as it forages for grass seeds, grain and insects. Males and females are indistinguishable in the field but during the breeding season, the male has a courtship display that involves flying up steeply and then nose-diving and pulling up in a series of stepped wavy dips accompanied by calling. They forage on the ground in pairs or small groups. Taxonomy and systematics The rufous-tailed lark was originally placed in the genus ''Mirafra''. Alternate names for the rufous-tailed lark include bar-tailed lark, rufous-tailed desert lark, and rufous-tailed finch-lark. Subspecies Some taxonomists in the past included the bar-tailed lark as a subspecies ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bar-tailed Lark (4989718826)
The bar-tailed lark or bar-tailed desert lark (''Ammomanes cinctura'') is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. Two other species, the rufous-tailed lark and the Cape clapper lark are both also sometimes referred to using the name bar-tailed lark. It is found from Morocco to Pakistan. Its natural habitat is hot deserts. This is in many places a common species, but elsewhere rather less common. It has a very wide distribution and faces no obvious threats, but surveys have shown that it is slowly decreasing in numbers. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern". Taxonomy and systematics The bar-tailed lark was originally placed in the genus ''Melanocorypha''. Alternate names for the bar-tailed lark include: bar-tailed finch-lark, black-tailed desert lark, black-tailed lark, and black-tailed sand lark. Subspecies Three subspecies are recognized: * ''A. c. cinctura'' - (Gould, 1839): Found on Cape Verde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Desert Lark
The desert lark (''Ammomanes deserti'') breeds in deserts and semi-deserts from Morocco to western India. It has a very wide distribution and faces no obvious threats, and surveys have shown that it is slowly increasing in numbers as it expands its range. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern". Taxonomy and systematics Originally, the desert lark was classified as belonging to the genus ''Alauda'' until moved to ''Ammomanes''. Alternate names include desert finch lark and sand lark. Subspecies Twenty-two subspecies are recognized: * Southern Moroccan desert lark (''A. d. payni'') - Hartert, 1924: Found in southern Morocco and south-western Algeria * Algerian desert lark or North Algerian desert lark (''A. d. algeriensis'') - Sharpe, 1890: Originally described as a separate species. Found in northern Algeria, Tunisia, north-western Libya and north-western Chad * South Algerian desert lark (''A. d. whit ...

Lark
Larks are passerine birds of the family Alaudidae. Larks have a cosmopolitan distribution with the largest number of species occurring in Africa. Only a single species, the horned lark, occurs in North America, and only Horsfield's bush lark occurs in Australia. Habitats vary widely, but many species live in dry regions. When the word "lark" is used without specification, it often refers to the Eurasian skylark ''(Alauda arvensis)''. Taxonomy and systematics The family Alaudidae was introduced in 1825 by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors as a subfamily Alaudina of the finch family Fringillidae. Larks are a well-defined family, partly because of the shape of their . They have multiple scutes on the hind side of their tarsi, rather than the single plate found in most songbirds. They also lack a pessulus, the bony central structure in the syrinx of songbirds. They were long placed at or near the beginning of the songbirds or oscines (now often called Passeri), just afte ...

Gray's Lark
Gray's lark (''Ammomanopsis grayi'') is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is found in south-western Africa in its natural habitat of hot deserts. Taxonomy and systematics Gray's lark was originally described as a species within the genus ''Alauda''. It was then placed in the sister genus ''Ammomanes'' until re-classified in 2009 by the IOC into the monotypic genus ''Ammomanopsis''. Some authorities still consider the species as ''Ammomanes grayi''. Other names for Gray's lark include Gray's desert lark and Gray's sand lark. Subspecies Two subspecies are recognized: * ''A. g. hoeschi'' - ( Niethammer, 1955): Found in north-western Namibia and south-western Angola * ''A. g. grayi'' - ( Wahlberg, 1855): Found in west-central and south-western Namibia References Gray's lark Birds of Southern Africa Gray's lark Gray's lark Gray's lark (''Ammomanopsis grayi'') is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae.

Red Lark
The red lark (''Calendulauda burra''), also known as the ferruginous lark or ferruginous sand-lark, is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is found in western South Africa and possibly Namibia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss. Taxonomy and systematics Originally, the red lark was classified as belonging to the genus ''Ammomanes'', then later by ''Mirafra'' and ''Certhilauda'', until moved to ''Calendulauda'' in 2009. Not all authorities recognize each of these re-classifications.

Dunn's Lark
Dunn's lark (''Eremalauda dunni'') is a small passerine bird of the lark family. It is a desert bird which is found across parts of the Sahara from Mauritania to central Sudan. Taxonomy and systematics Dunn's lark was originally described as belonging to the genus ''Calendula'' and has also been classified by some authorities as belonging to the genus '' Ammomanes''. Stark's lark was formerly also classified in the genus ''Eremalauda''; it has since been moved to ''Spizocorys'', leaving Dunn's lark as the only species in the genus ''Eremalauda''. The Arabian lark (''E. eremodites'') of the Arabian Peninsula was formerly considered conspecific, but was classified as a distinct species by the Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive and by Birdlife International, and later by the International Ornithological Congress. Description Dunn's lark is a stocky bird with a large head and broad wings. It is 14 to 15 cm long with a wingspan of 25 to 30 cm.Snow, D. W. & Perrin ...

Jean Cabanis
Jean Louis Cabanis (8 March 1816 – 20 February 1906) was a German ornithologist. Cabanis was born in Berlin to an old Huguenot family who had moved from France. Little is known of his early life. He studied at the University of Berlin from 1835 to 1839, and then travelled to North America, returning in 1841 with a large natural history collection. He was assistant and later director of the Natural History Museum of Berlin (which was at the time the Berlin University Museum), taking over from Martin Lichtenstein. He founded the ''Journal für Ornithologie'' in 1853, editing it for the next forty-one years, when he was succeeded by his son-in-law Anton Reichenow. He died in Friedrichshagen. A number of birds are named after him, including Cabanis's bunting ''Emberiza cabanisi'', Cabanis's spinetail ''Synallaxis cabanisi'', Azure-rumped tanager The azure-rumped tanager or Cabanis's tanager (''Poecilostreptus cabanisi'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae.
