lapwing

Bird belonging to the plover family, also known as the green plover and, from its call, as the peewit. Bottle-green above and white below, with a long thin crest and rounded wings, it is about 30 cm/1 ft long. It inhabits moorland in Europe and Asia, making a nest scratched out of the ground, and is also often seen on farmland. (Species Vanellus vanellus, family Charadriidae.)

It is an occasional visitor to northeastern North America.
