About

La especie de alondra de distribución más amplia, la alondra cornuda común (Eremophila alpestris) —llamada alondra costera en Europa— habita terrenos abiertos y despejados desde la tundra ártica y los páramos alpinos hasta playas costeras y praderas de América del Norte, Europa, Asia y el norte de África. Su nombre proviene de los pequeños penachos de plumas negras en la cabeza del macho. Son de las primeras aves en llegar a sus zonas de cría a principios de primavera, cuando la tundra aún está cubierta de nieve. Se alimentan de semillas e insectos en el suelo durante todo el año.
