an article in yesterdays Newsday (Long Island Newspaper) on page A13 titled "Fisherman Makes Unusual Catch" reports a commercial fishing boat captain based locally out of Shinnecock Inlet NY recently fished a purple gallinule out of the ocean about 25 miles south of Nantucket Island. The bird was taken to rehab in hampton bays and is doing very well. Speculation was the bird had been windblown off course by weather.
