The reason for this post is to alert everyone to be on the lookout for the
above. Photos of the bird were sent to me by Bob Horvath & Cathy St. Pierre
(Wildlife Rehabilitators) to see if I concurred with their tentative ID as a
BRBO- which I did. The bird's yellow feet/legs are seen quite vividly in the
photos.
I believe the distressed bird was found in Lynbrook, Bob & Cathy were notified,
they captured it, a vet. gave it a clean bill of health, it spent the night in
Bob & Cathy's bath tub eating small fish, and was then judged to be well enough
for release.
Per Bob, the bird took off from the pier area and headed n/e over the bay.
Getting down to J.B. in record time, I looked for the bird at the fishing pier,
the Coast Guard area, and the Wantagh Pkwy Bridge area, n/o the tower, without
success.
I have a new computer and am currently trying to learn how to forward the
photos.
Cheers, Bob
