Frequently asked questions

How many larks are found in Kenya?

23 larks that we profile appear on Kenya's eBird-reported checklist. The full A–Z list is on this page; the real total can shift as eBird records are added.

Are all of these larks really found there?

Yes — each one is on Kenya's eBird checklist (reported by birders to the Cornell Lab's eBird), and each of these larks belongs to the family group named on this page. We don't rank them by abundance, because that varies by season and locale.
