Abstract

The article discusses research on the implications of the staging behavior of Red Knot or Calidris canutus for monitoring its mass and population size in Delaware Bay. The researchers used mark-recapture techniques and resightings of birds that were marked in the previous year to monitor the staging behavior of the bird in the area. Using staging duration and mass gains of the birds, they estimated a passage population size of 18,000 Red Knots in 2004, which reached an average mass of 111 grams and an average gained mass at 7.2 grams per day.
