What does PIPIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
Any of several small, slender, ground-dwelling songbirds of the genus Anthus, related to wagtails and known for streaky brown plumage.
A pipit forages mostly on open ground, walking rather than hopping, and bobs its tail in a manner similar to its close relative the wagtail. Its streaky brown feathers give strong camouflage against grass and bare earth, which suits birds that nest and feed so close to the ground. Different species of pipit are found across grasslands, moors, and coastal meadows worldwide, and birdwatchers often identify them by their thin, high-pitched call given in flight.
