What does PEWEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small North American flycatcher known for its plain olive-grey plumage and its simple, whistled call.
The pewee is a small woodland bird found across much of North America, named for the sound of its own call rather than for anything unusual in its looks. Several closely related species share the name, including the eastern wood-pewee, and all are quiet, plainly coloured birds that perch and dart out after flying insects. Bird watchers often identify a pewee by ear before they see it, since its short whistled notes are more distinctive than its appearance. The name is imitative, formed directly from the two-note call itself.
