Alauda (skylarks)

Synonyms: Alanda; Aulada

Wikipedia Abstract

Alauda is a genus of larks with four species found across much of Europe, Asia and in the mountains of north Africa, and one species (the Raso lark) endemic to the islet of Raso in the Cape Verde Islands. The current genus name is from Latin alauda, "lark". Pliny the Elder thought the word was originally of Celtic origin.
