A flock of about 120 Red Knots was present on the beach at Jones Beach Field
6 this morning. A look at a picture I took just to test my exposure revealed
bands on one of them. There is a green band with "6PU" on the left tibia and
a silver, apparently unmarked band on the right tarsus. This flock basically
kept separate from the hundreds (or more) Dunlin, Sanderling, and
Black-bellied Plovers in the area.
