Thursday, June 14 - Nest #4

A lovely morning walk was rewarded by our fourth nest of the season. Up at the top end of the island between Marker 8 and 9, we found a crawl. See the photo below for the big difference in the incoming and outgoing crawls.

She was there for a long time - 36 inches wide too

It didn't take long to find the egg chamber because it was only about a foot below the surface.

Not too deep - about 12 inches

Ruthann and Sheri at their first nest!

Ruthann has a big smile 

We were missing some regular Thursday 

volunteers but they were with us in spirit --

Nest 4 it is!

Thanks to Elaine for sharing her great pictures!
