Hi All-
A discussion on FB mentioned that a RNGR was released by the Wild Bird
Fund (WBF) into the Central Park Reservoir this week. In a communication
I had with them last night, the WBF confirmed that, in fact, one was
released by them to the Reservoir on Wednesday, which happened to be the
first day one was reported there to NYSBirds. The origin of the bird was
rescue from on-land stranding in Brooklyn. WBF posted to their Facebook
page a video of the bird catching live fish swimming in its waterfowl
rehab pool (pretty amusing, actually). They do that to make sure the
bird can catch its own food before releasing it.
