Each year a sandpiper, the red knot, flies 19,000 miles from one end of the earth to the other and back.
The migration is fueled in part by the eggs of horseshoe crabs, one of earth’s oldest animals, whose blue blood safeguards human health.
Join Deborah along her journey accompanying the birds and horseshoe crabs: on remote, windswept beaches along the Strait of Magellan; in bug-infested hunting preserves and gleaming oyster banks in South Carolina; in Delaware Bay—an avian Serengeti and the world’s greatest concentration of horseshoe crabs; inside the research warrens of Massachusetts General Hospital; and up into the icy, inhospitable tundra where the birds nest.
