I was up at Timber Point today and was disappointed to not see the Dovekie. A local policeman told me that eight Dovekies were taken from other parts of Long Island and six of them have already died. The policeman was not referring to the Dovekie at Great River. In a message dated 1/31/2010 3:39:48 P.M.

He did not see it, and according to others on the scene the Dovekie has not been seen all day. There were also second-hand rumors that the Dovekie was taken in, perhaps to a rehabilitator. Anyone have more details on this? Assuming it's true, it would have been useful for word to get out to the listserve to save people the trip over.
