He told me that the preliminary numbers from last night's aerial survey is 30,000 Red Knots which is way above the 10 to 13 thousand that they have seen for many years. Of course, he cautioned it is a preliminary number but it falls in line with the horseshoe crab moratorium put into place 11 years ago in NJ. It takes 10 years for the crab to mature and they are seeing a rebound in horsecrabs as well. There is a long way to go but it is encouraging. There are also many more RUDDY TURNSTONES, and DUNLIN. SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS. Dave Nicosia
