When Connecticut's first Northern Lapwing showed up inland at Storrs, Tolland County on 27-28 November 2010, we all scrambled to deduce its age and sex. This bird had a very long crest, a whiter wing tip with less delineation to each feather with black , and very pronounced buffy scaling on is back. We concluded that this bird is an adult male by this suite of characters. Photos are in the Birdfellow Community photo gallery, above.
