词条 | lark |
释义 | lark bird ![]() Flocks of larks forage for insects and seeds on the ground. All species have high, thin, melodious voices; in courtship the male may sing in the sky or audibly clap his wings aloft. The male Old World skylark (Alauda arvensis) is particularly noted for his rich, sustained song. The species breeds across Europe and has been introduced into Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and Vancouver Island, B.C. The name lark is also given, chiefly because of habitat, to several birds belonging to other families. See meadowlark; songlark. For fieldlark, or titlark, see pipit. For mudlark, see Grallinidae. |
