Waties Island Nest Count

Wednesday, August 29

Had a lovely walk with the Wednesday crew.  Lots going on.  On the short end there was a dead headless hatchling in front of nest 8, our inventory for tomorrow. 
 
Nest 7 had a large hole that looked like a ghost crab hole.  We will know more tomorrow.

Nest 14 had one ghost crab in the trap which was disposed of.
There also were tracks that Barb guessed might be a bobcat.



On the upper end at nest 9 there is a depression so we may have a couple of things going on tomorrow.  The other nests were quiet.


We walked up to marker 8 to see if the stranded turtle had made it back to the ocean.  There were no remains so I think s/he had a proper burial at sea!
