The after affects of Hurricane Sandy could imperil the red knot shore bird at the Mispillion Harbor in Delaware and the New Jersey Beaches, say wildlife experts.
The shorebird stops off in the area to gorge on crab eggs during the spring on its way to Arctic breeding grounds.
Tom Kelsch, vice president for conservation programs at the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, also told the Wilmington News Journal that one of the biggest problems is to make sure the Delaware Bay shore has enough sandy beach for horseshoe crabs to spawn this spring.
This is the assessment of the damage to the local habitat done by the storm to the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge.
