Red Knot (very early) - Duxbury Beach, MA - April 11-13, 2012 [2 of 4]

I first found the Knot (with Black-bellied Plover & a Dunlin)along the bayside shoreline between the 1st & 2nd crossovers on April 11th. It was with 2 Black-bellied Plovers and a small group of Dunlin and Sanderlings. Today I had my camera with me and got these 4 photos on a heavily overcast morning. It was still hanging with the same little flock.

This is a very early date for Red Knot, and apparently it is also early for it to have progressed this far into alternate(breeding) plumage.
