The NJ moratorium contributed immeasurably to the survival of the red knot. DE continues to allow a bait harvest, complicating red knot recovery.

This graphic shows how horseshoe crab harvest has contributed to the decline in the # of red knots able to survive migration.
Red knot populations were stronger when the haul was under 500 metric tons. As the haul increased in the 90s, red knot numbers decreased in the 2000s.

"There are many ways to help the red knot and the Delaware Bay stopover, but there is only one that will create results: Stop killing female crabs in all states, from Virginia to Massachusetts, as soon as possible."

An unforgettable experience seeing this Snowy Owl in Central Park today. Love its feathery feet. Shots capture one of the many times it was being harassed by a Red-Tailed Hawk. Many thanks to @BirdCentralPark for the alert. 💜🦉#birdcp

1:1 cardinal video of the day, but I’d be foolish to think I’m going to get one of these daily. @BirdCentralPark #birdcp #NaturePhotography
