Desert Lark

The Desert Lark is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Desert Lark (Ammomanes deserti), which fed on a narrower range of seed sizes, exhibited smaller within-day fluctuations in the amount of fat, and carried on average 8.9% fat.

The desert lark is, as its name suggests, an inhabitant of deserts around the world (4). Twenty-four subspecies are recognised, each occupying a separate geographical location and showing marked differences in size and plumage colour (5). Generally, the feathers on the desert lark’s back are sand-coloured, which contributes greatly towards camouflage in its sandy habitat (6). The underside is pale pinkish, the tail is reddish-brown, and it has a thick, yellow bill, suitably adapted for its seed-based diet. More
