Thanks, Kathleen MacAulay, for your advice dealing with such pelagic birds. 
Got this from Mary Majka in NatureNB.

We received and released a number of dovekies during today  Obviously blown 
inland by very strong southerly winds (terrific on the Bay of Fundy). Those 
Birds are not Injured  or starving ! What they need URGENTLY is to be 
released in any large body of WATER, of course preferably saltwater!

Dovekies as many other pelagic (sea-dwelling) birds can't take off from 
land.

They need to be as soon as possible taken to the seashore or a river 
(Petitcodiac is a good one because it is tidal) and simply dumped into their 
watery element.
