The Dovekie is a member of the Auk family of arctic (pelagic) birds that spends most of their time near the pack ice way out on the Atlantic, or Arctic Ocean. Well ... awkward ... one of them was seen and photographed (up close) at Ashbridges Bay yesterday. It came to warn us that snow was forecast and expect more burrr ... on the way. I swear, I didn't make this up. Once again, Brian Stahls was there to document the visit.
