Calidris canutus
West Coast National Park is the atlas place where the Red Knot is recorded, with records gathering most thickly in the United States, United Kingdom, Norway, Canada and Australia. The atlas holds about 267,000 open records of this bird from 26 countries, and the map follows where these records concentrate.
Seasons for the Red Knot differ by region, and each place page shows the months it is recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Red Knot as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
