mud knot
About 12,000 Red Knots were feeding on Horseshoe Crab eggs today along the Delaware Bay. This one was actually feeding inside a dead Horseshoe Crab when a wave blasted some Delaware Bay mud into the air. Along with the Red Knots some 15,000 Rudy Turnstones and thousands of Semi-palmated Sandpipers, Willits and assorted shorebirds and gulls turned out for the protein feeding frenzy.

I love how you have captured the drops from these mud splatters in these two most recent photos. Our little granddaughter looked forward to me showing her your photos each day and was very happy whenever new ones were posted. (Of course, she then wanted me to show her some of those same birds by our backyard feeder and I wasn’t able to comply…..BAD Grandma!!!)
