There may have been more people trying to " help " the Dovekie. I received
this information this morning in an email sent to me. Here is the email.

Hi Joe,
I have been out to see the Dovekie twice now and can't believe how small
this bird is and how far it has come. I took some video yesterday and hope
to find the USB wire to download the pictures. I did get concerned
yesterday when a woman come by and started throwing pieces of shrimp to the
bird.
This bird is healthy and feeding on its own. When I questioned the woman
she said she called Cornell and they told her what the bird eats and that
it why she brought the shrimp. I did not want to create a scene so I left
the area because it was getting me very angry...

I don't know if we really know what happened.
Best,
Joe Giunta
