Hi all,
I arrived at North Beach in Racine at sunrise with hopes to see the Red
Knot that was reported yesterday. After 45 minutes of walking the entire
beach from the north to the south, I found this juvenile bird right near
the pier on the south end. After only a moment of watching it through my
bins, the beach cleaning machine flushed the bird far to the north. It
remained there for awhile feeding and going through mussels, etc finding
things to eat. I took a few images of this rare visitor and it was present
when I walked away. Thanks to Rick Fare for finding this 2nd Red Knot as
another one was had just been reported in the same location on September
8th. Thanks for getting the word out to for others to see it. It was a
beautiful morning with full sun, a light breeze, mild temps.
Images of the Red Knot from this morning at this link if you care to view
them:
