What is a red knot?

Red node or Calidris Canutus is a type of sandstone or small coast with legs similar to sticks. Red knots have gray wings with white stomach and feathers on their chest and neck during the period of reproduction. Red nodes are particularly remarkable because of their long migration routes, which include more than 9,300 miles (14,967 km) per year. Their diet consists mainly of insects, snails, crustaceans and molluscs, yet they eat seeds and grass when these nourish foods are not available. The red nodes are built to live near the beaches or shallow waters, and their thin legs allow them to go through water easily. It is one of the longest migration routes of any animal. The red knots fly every spring and fall between their breeding in the Arctic Circle and various southern points to spend their winters along the shores to South America. Red knots travel in flocks much larger than typical migrant birds. It is assumed that this is meant as a protective measure, yet this habit is threateningA large number of birds when habitat is threatened and when toxins or other environmental threats enter their environment.

Red nodes rest along their migration routes in places called the "staging area". Birds remember these staging areas from year to year, and every time they travel, they visit the same place. Perhaps the most important of these staging areas is around the Gulf of Delaware along the east coast of the United States. Birds at the time of their arrival in this task to coincide with the wiuching of crab eggs, which give the birds much needed nutrition.

The number of red nodes has decreased, and these birds are now listed as a "type of high concern" as planned to maintain the Shorebird of the United States. This decline can be attributed to several factors, including climate change threatening the breeding of the red node in the Arctic Circle. Number of crabs horseshoe along the bird's bird DelawRe Bay is also declining because of the exaggerated at the age of 90, when fishermen often used horseshoes as a bait. Krab's decline, along with the problem for populations of horseshoes, also threatens the red knot by affecting one of the most important staging areas of the bird.
