This is a gorgeous piece of work. I am thankful for people like Allison Argo. Sometimes I think the fresh perspective of a filmmaker who “didn’t know red knots existed” before starting the project is exactly what we need to wake us up. I remember carpets of red knots on the Delaware Bay. Now it’s an event to see more than a handful of them at once. Human greed knows no bounds, but perhaps the state legislatures have been forced to wake up in time, to freeze the “harvest”–wanton exploitation, actually–of the horseshoe crab. Perhaps not.

How intriguing! I found Ms Argo’s comments insightful and the video beautiful. It would be great to use with my students to explain why observation of nature and careful stewardship of our environment is so important.
