Red knots are scarce in the spring; most move through Ohio in the fall, when they are in drab, gray basic plumage. We get only small numbers, and the overall population seems to be in severe decline. This trend has caused it to become a species of conservation concern. Calls, typically given in flight, are a soft weet-weet, weet-weet-weet, usually given in series of threes, somewhat reminiscent of a spotted sandpiper.
