An alternative spelling of dovekey; a small Arctic seabird, also called the little auk, known for diving underwater to catch small fish.
Variant spelling of dovekey, with the same origins in 'dove' (diving) and possibly Scandinavian roots. Both spellings refer to the same bird species.
The dovekie gets its name from the diving motion it makes—'dove' as in the past tense of 'dive'—because this little bird is basically an underwater acrobat.
