Reed's Beach ~ Red Knots Flying

 It was exciting to go birding today and see the returning Red Knots.  It's exciting to see them all returning to Reed's Beach, Cook's Beach and the beaches along the Delaware Bay from the Villas and up past Fortescue. The birds stop here on their way to the Arctic and bulk up by eating Horseshoe Crab eggs.  May is the time the Horseshoe Crabs come into spawn.  This phenomenon also occurs along the Delaware side of the Delaware Bay.  Here are some pictures of the birds flying and feeding along the shoreline on Reed's  Beach.
