At Hither Hills SP, Montauk, dovekie was found today around 4PM - at
the water line - by Joan Becker, Richard Becker, Robin Fishman and
Eileen Schwinn. The bird appeared "waterlogged" and was taken to The
Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons, in Hampton Bays. We were
told it was the third dovekie to be brought to the center today. All
birds were thought to be "non- water repellant", perhaps the result
of the strong winds and rain from yesterday's storm. One bird was
found by a local boater and the other along the beach in Westhampton.
Perhaps tomorrow birders can be on the look-out along local ocean
beaches for any other washed-ashore birds.
Earlier in the day(11AM), the Black Guillemot was seen inside
Bullhead Bay, close to the broken bulkheading along Sebonac Inlet
Road. It still was in the company of four long-tailed ducks.
