Wow! These photos are great! and I loved learning more about shorebirds. I was at Jekyll Island for the first time last May, and this makes me want to go back soon. I still haven't seen a red knot and would love to.
Thanks, Sarah! Definitely bring binoculars and a shorebird identification book. Red knots can be difficult to spot and they’ll be gone by early June most likely. However, they do come back down later in the year as well once the summer is concluding, so there’s another chance this year too.
