The recently reported dead Common Murre found near Triton Beach/Tiana Beach (Dune Rd), was recovered and frozen on Wednesday.
If there are any birders heading to Montauk/Shinnecock/Points East over the next few days, who could possibly help with the transport of the frozen bird to The American Museum of Natural History, NYC, please contact me off-line. The bird is located in East Quogue, near Sunrise Highway, but a more convenient meeting point could be arranged. The Murre will be kept frozen, and packed appropriately for the move. Thanks for anyone’s help in getting this bird to Paul Sweet.
