The Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network has a fantastic reference page, mentioned in the previous post, Birding for Banded Shorebirds - it's worth printing out and keeping a copy on hand if you bird coastal areas much.
So when I came across another note on banded shorebirds, I had to share that link again before adding an article about Red Knots (Calidris canutus) from the Corpus Christi area.
Bag 'em, flag 'em and tag 'em

Keep your eyes open! Red Knots are seriously declining and research like this is helping track the populations as they migrate globally.
