Alouette hausse-col

The most widely distributed lark species, common horned larks — also called shore larks in Europe — inhabit bare, open ground from Arctic tundra and alpine fellfield to coastal beaches and prairie across North America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Named for the small black feather tufts on the male's head. They are among the first birds to arrive at breeding grounds in early spring while snow still covers the tundra. They forage on seeds and insects on the ground year-round.
