Observation details

Found in the parking lot of Acadia Veterinary Hospital in poor shape. Brought to Acadia Wildlife for an attempt at rehabilitation, but unfortunately didn't make it. The specimen was then donated to College of the Atlantic. Entering this bird for the data's purpose, as it was alive when found and thus should be entered. Immature bird with mottled plumage, and exhibited bluish underparts, and light brown-green upperparts. This example of vagrancy fits a nice pattern for the species up the east coast and into the Canadian Maritimes. Photo curtesy of Acadia Wildlife via Facebook. Entered by Nathan Dubrow.
