meaning 2 | snipe (Gallinago) | La bécassine apprécie ainsi les marais, les prairies humides et les landes. De mars à juillet, Elle va mériter son surnom de « chèvre céleste » en pratiquant des vols à chevrotement. Elle s’envole en silence puis fait un circuit en volant à 40° les ailes étalées et la queue déployée. Ses rectrices (plumes de la queue) externes vont vibrer produisant un « houhouhouhou » caractéristique. |

the name comes from its bleating sound
Also German (obsolete) Himmelsgeiß ' common curlew (Numenius arquata)' (Brehm, Alfred Edmund: Illustrirtes Thierleben. Bd. 4. Hildburghausen, 1867. 649) from Geiß (regional) 'goat, she-goat'
