NEW LEBANON – State Environmental Conservation Officers Doroski and Keegan rescued a distressed bird found laying in snow days ago.
The bird was identified as a Red-Necked Grebe.
Grebes require at least 100 feet of open waster to take flight.
The bird was transported to Friends of the Feathered and Furry Wildlife Center in Hunter.
The wildlife rehabilitator at the facility notified DEC that the bird was hungry and dehydrated, but improved immediately after being fed.
The bird was released four days after its arrival.
