Good evening,
I received a text from a friend that a near breeding plumage Red Knot was
at North Beach in Racine. Thank you Drew! I was on my way home from Lake
Park, so I figured I'd run down there. It was on the south end, near the
yacht club. There were also 20+ Sanderling, 2 Ruddy Turnstone, 3
Semipalmated Sandpipers and 1 Least Sandpiper. Before I left, all the birds
flew out to the lake and only a few Sanderling returned. It's possible that
it flew to the north end of the beach where there were more Sanderlings and
hundreds of gulls. By then it was near dark and not worth trying to
relocate it. Hopefully it sticks around another day. There are a few
pictures at the link below, if you are interested.
