| description | This brochure gives information about the migrating Red Knot (Calidris canutus rufa) and threats these birds face. The red knot is a little shorebird that weighs less than a cup of coffee but is a master of long-distance aviation. Biologists have identified five races of red knot, three of them living in the Western Hemisphere. Surveys of wintering knots along the coasts of southern Chile and Argentina, and during spring migration in Delaware Bay on the U.S. coast, indicate a serious population decline. A red knot banded in May 1987 was seen on Delaware Bay in May 2000. During those 13 years, the bird had flown about 242,350 miles, a distance farther than from the earth to the moon! |
