Seems like we're off to a good start to the nesting season on Waties - the second crawl of the season turned out to be the second nest of the season. I can get used to this after all those false crawls last summer.
This nest was only about 30 feet down the beach from Nest #1. We found the eggs fairly close to the surface too, only about 8" deep. It will be interesting to see whether this nest emerges before Nest #1 which was much deeper. That nest was about 18" deep, about average for a loggerhead nest.
