OCEAN CITY -- Counters spotted a bird Friday only seen three times during 
the Christmas Count since its beginning over 50 years ago.

"The Dovekie nest in Greenland, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland," said Jay 
Sheppard, head of the Ocean City count. "Massachusetts and Long Island are 
usually about as far south as they normally occur."
