Red? Not! 5116
The Red Know is one of the more famous shorebirds, not only for the beautiful red breast and face that it sports during breeding season, but also because it is a shorebird that makes one of the longest migrations of any other. These birds travel from the breeding grounds in the Arctic Tundra to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, a trip of over 9000 miles. In the non-breeding season they lose their red feathers, making them a bit more difficult to distinguish from some of the other peeps, and answering the questions, “When is a Red Knot, not?” #RedKnots
