Greetings---I usually wouldn't post an advocacy-type message to this listserv, so bear with me.  I hope readers got to see the PBS show "Nature" last weekend.  If not, it is usually shown again within a week or so.  It was an excellent program on the horseshoe crab/red knot decline in Delaware Bay.  I'm sure we all want to see the rufa subspecies survive, and hopefully make a comeback.  Otherwise, forget ever seeing a red knot in Ohio again.  Sanderlings, turnstones, etc. are also being impacted.  There is a post from Tony Croasdale on the PA listserv, with suggestions for positive actions we birders can take NOW.  Please check it out.  Thanks for your consideration, Craig
