PIPIT
Pip"it, n. Etym: [So named from its call note.] (Zoöl.)
Definition: Any one of numerous species of small singing birds belonging to
Anthus and allied genera, of the family Motacillidæ. 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.
Note: The meadow pipit (Anthus pratensis); the tree pipit, or tree
lark (A. trivialis); and the rock pipit, or sea lark (A. obscurus)
are well-known European species. The common American pipit, or brown
lark, is Anthus Pensilvanicus. The Western species (A. Spraguei) is
called the American skylark, on account of its musical powers.
