These two hatched this morning.  Blackwater is one of my favorite spots to go bird watching, I'm hoping to take my daughter there for the first time this year.

It's not on the Chesapeake, but it's not far.

I'm embarrased to admit that I had to look up "Red Knot" to know what you meant.  Should I assume that the northern migration is truly something to see?

Don't be embarrased, they stop on the shore there to feed on horeshoe crab eggs on their way North. I hope to get out there soemday to see it. Check your local Birding on the Net site for updated info!!
