It's so inspiring to see these dedicated ppl work

so hard to save this beautiful bird.

So, sorry ppl messed with the horse-shoe crab; the Red Knot's friend.

What happened to "let Nature take it's course" ?

We are in such need of healing because we've manipulated Nature so much.

Before i got sick, i spent several years volunteering in that team, and worked with many of the people in that video. It was a true labor of love. I miss it so much. - shireen

I hope red knots dont go extinct in our life time but things are not looking so good.

Your careful work and research is very much appreciated. Thank you for all you do. Sadly, some of these birds will not put on enough weight to complete the journey to their Arctic nesting grounds.

Awesome!! I especially liked the girl in the green floppy hat and white long sleeved shirt. She was hot and looked very experienced!!

I've participated in cannon netting of shorebirds and it results in a high rate of injury and mortality of the birds. You can't fire projectiles into dense flocks of birds without this occurring.
