One at Far Rockaway and one on Monmouth Beach NJ. This follows the moribund bird mentioned by Chase from Robert Moses. Birders walking the beaches please keep their eyes open for dead seabirds and contact me if you find anything. If anyone is available to run out to Rockaway to pick up a bird for me please contact me off list.
