Red Knots are a new hero bird of mine! They migrate incredible distances, from the Arctic down to southern South America.
Along the way, they stop at places like Delaware Bay, where they arrive exhausted and need to bulk up. Their gizzards expand dramatically to help grind the huge number of horseshoe crab eggs they eat before continuing their journey.
Go get ’em, little red knots!
