For this challenge, I am posting a photo of Red Knots in flight over the Delaware Bay. These birds migrate every year from Artic areas to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of South America, a distance of 9,300 miles and one of the longest migratory paths of any bird.

Wow indeed, for a bird that is not large at all.

We have the same red knots here on Kiawah. They typically arrive en masse in late spring and leave us after a week or two. They are truly amazing and definitely a great example of endurance!

They are probably the same ones that come to New Jersey, and Kiawah is one of their stops during their migration. Thank you for visiting, Tina!
