Comprehensive Description
Read full entryThe desert lark is, as its name suggests, an inhabitant of deserts around the world. The feathers on the desert lark’s back are sand-colored, which contributes greatly towards camouflage in its sandy habitat. The underside is pale pinkish, the tail is reddish-brown, and it has a thick, yellow bill, suitably adapted for its seed-based diet. Male desert larks can be heard producing a trilled, whispery ‘choo-wee-chacha-wooee’ during flight when trying to attract a female.
