Brian Harrington is an emeritus biologist with Manomet, Inc., where he began working in 1971. During his tenure, Brian focused on conservation issues associated with the long, nonstop migrations of many kinds of shorebirds, in particular the red Knot, with research throughout North and South America. In 1996, Brian authored the popular book, “The Flight of the red Knot”, which explores much of his work.

Brian serves as an advisor to the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network, a science-based, partnership-driven conservation initiative for protecting the ecological integrity of critical habitats for shorebirds throughout the Americas.

Fish and Wildlife Service to train professional wildlife managers throughout North America in wetland management for shorebirds and waterfowl. He also founded and managed the International Shorebird Survey, a project with more than 1,000 volunteers counting shorebirds throughout North and South America since 1974.
