Raso Lark
Alauda razae (Alexander, 1898)
Alaudidae — Larks
Raso Lark, Alauda razae, is a passerine in the lark family that lives on Raso islet in the Cape Verde Islands, off north-west Africa. It is confined to that single island and is tied to very dry ground. The bird is a member of Alaudidae and was described by Alexander in 1898. Its range is exceptionally limited, and it is one of the least studied birds in the Western Palaearctic because the island is remote and the archipelago has received little ornithological attention.
