Waties Island Nest Count

Thursday, May 31, 2018

Thursday's crew

We thought we had one!  Saw the tracks which are right by marker #3, kept on walking to check out the rest of the island, and when we came back realized it was a false crawl.  Exciting and disappointing!

The width of the crawl span was 31".  So she was pretty small.  We all were thinking about the leatherback span of 80" and were incredulous.  She just walked up and walked right back out.  Bill did probe but she did no digging.  Wasn't there long.  The crawl going in and coming out were same size and the incoming crawl had not been washed away at all.
