Goglu des prés is the French name for a bird known in English as a Bobolink, which has a white back and black underparts (like a tuxedo in reverse) and is related to blackbirds and orioles. It can be found in overgrown fields, tall grasslands, uncut pastures and similar habitats. According to Eric Lortie [1], it is also the nickname of a small dry biscuit.
