Linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes and and NC Sue Wordless
I hope you can join in and share your photos, I look forward to the wild birds and nature scenes.
For this week's wild bird I am sharing the Red Knot from our visit to the Delaware shore. The first couple of weeks of May is a awesome time to visit the Delaware beaches to see the shorebirds migrating and the horseshoe crabs laying their eggs. The Red Knot is listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
It can be fun trying to pick out a certain species of bird that is hanging out with a group of various shorebirds. I was looking for the Red Knot and in the center of the photo above is my Red Knot, the larger shorebird with the reddish head and neck. It is 10 inches tall compared to the 8 inch Dunlin also seen in the photo.
The shot above has three Red Knots along with the Laughing Gulls, Dunlins and some other little peeps. Can you find the 3 Red Knots, they kind of form a triangle in the photo.
I see one Red Knot is the photo above, third bird down from the Ring-billed Gull. The size difference between the gull and shorebirds is amazing.
I managed to find one Red Knot standing out in this group of birds, do you see it? But, there could be more, they are so close together.
And I think I see three Red Knots in this shot of the birds in flight, do you see the Red Knots? Seeing the reddish color on their fronts help to pick them out of a crowd. The birds with the black spot on their bellies are the Dunlins.
I hope you enjoyed my wild bird post and photos. Till next week's wild bird post. Join in and post your birdies and to see more beautiful and wonderful bird and nature photos please visit:
