Fish and Wildlife Service has listed the “Rufa” population of Red Knot ( Calidris canutus rufa ) as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In both cases, knots, which feed on the crabs’ eggs, can miss their peak refueling opportunity. From North Carolina south to Texas, just under half of beaches are developed.

I’ve also been on pelagic birding trips on both coasts, out of Half Moon Bay and Monterey, California; Newport, Oregon; and Hatteras, North Carolina. Geography is destiny.
