NEST #6

Wednesday's group was thrilled that they were able to experience a nest.  For some of them it was the first time.  It was also a BD present for Jewel.
 This turtle was wasting no time.  She came straight in. laid her nest and went right back out.

Wasn't long before they found the eggs.

Jewel continued to cover the nest while the others got a look at the egg before we took the DNA sample for DNR.

Phyllis was a big help recording the necessary information

This was only part of our group as some of them had to leave early.  But they were all a big help with measuring, recording, digging, getting the DNA sample, tracking down the sign and poles and taking all the pictures.  Great Job!  Thank you!!!
