A few days ago, I again watched the PBS Nature program "Crash: A Tale of Two Species," the account of the relationship of the horseshoe crbs and the red knots. I discovered that Nature episodes can now be viewed on line. Here is the link to that one: http://video.pbs.org/video/1200406235/ This was filmed n 2008 when few red knots made it to their Arctic nesting grounds. Lets hope that there is a different result this year.
