Anthus Spraguei
(gcide) | Skylark \Sky"lark`\, n. (Zool.)
A lark that mounts and sings as it files, especially the
common species (Alauda arvensis) found in Europe and in
some parts of Asia, and celebrated for its melodious song; --
called also sky laverock. See under Lark.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The Australian skylark (Cincloramphus cantillans) is
a pipit which has the habit of ascending
perpendicularly like a skylark, but it lacks the song
of a true lark. The Missouri skylark is a pipit
(Anthus Spraguei) of the Western United States,
resembling the skylark in habit and song.
[1913 Webster]Pipit \Pip"it\, n. [So named from its call note.] (Zool.)
Any one of numerous species of small singing birds belonging
to Anthus and allied genera, of the family
Motacillid[ae]. They strongly resemble the true larks in
habits, colors, and the great length of the hind claw. They
are, therefore, often called titlarks, and pipit larks.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The meadow pipit (Anthus pratensis); the {tree
pipit}, or tree lark (Anthus trivialis); and the
rock pipit, or sea lark (Anthus obscurus) are
well-known European species. The common American pipit,
or brown lark, is Anthus Pensilvanicus. The Western
species (Anthus Spraguei) is called the {American
skylark}, on account of its musical powers.
