Last Friday the 13th, an injured Dovekie washed ashore at an developing under construction new park called Bush Terminal Pier Park. The bird was rescued by construction crew and bought to the foreman who unable to reach me for animal rescue services info , did find an animal rescue /rehabilitator expert and from what I heard the bird improved well. I hope to follow up since I only received the requested photo today from that construction foreman.
This is for the record for the region 10 NYS compiler. I am told that this is only the second record for Kings County , the only other Dovekie record was a bird found in 1934 in the Brookyln Botanic Garden, the expired specimen now at the American Museum if Natural History . ( I don't have my misplaced Bull's Atlas on hand).
