[MDOSPREY] Red Knot leg band Photos/DE






Hi all. Yesterday Maurice Barnhill and I took a brief excursion down to 
the Delaware Bay. Despite the cloudy weather, it was highly entertaining 
watching all the Pipers doing what they have been doing for Thousands upon 
thousands years.
I took my 15 year old son down today. Great Light for me for photography 
and he really wanted to see the spectacle of spring time on the Delaware 
Bay and being this is the only time I would have for a while to get down 
there, we didn't want to miss it.
I was at the North end of Slaughter Beach for about an hour, my son hung 
in there for about 30 minutes before he got board and went back to the 
truck. 
I did manage to find 2 Knots with Leg bands. May be there are recent 
Delaware bandings, Maybe not. If anyone knows, pass the info on please.
Follow the links below, the top on is the leg bands and the bottom is just 
some photographs I took today.
