Red Knots

[Paul Hamilton]

This has been an exceptional year for Horseshoe Crabs and shorebirds in Delaware. DE-Birds reported an estimated 15,000 RED KNOTS in Delaware Bay the past week and an estimated 5,000 RED KNOTS at Mispillion Harbor Preserve, Sussex Co, DE.

This is great news  Paul.  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:

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.
