Team Thursday

Hasn't been much for our team to post lately.  Today we headed out hoping for a new nest and thinking we might actually have an emergence but to quote Bill, "Nuttin"!

Nest #2 did not have a depression today but the sand was very windblown due to a delightful breeze that kept us slightly cool!

Nest #1 also showed no signs of emergence!

Both nests had no reed in place though.  We did not replace them.

Nest #10 had a huge hole right at the reed so we did place a GC trap on that location.

We also emptied the trap on nest 20 which lost three eggs yesterday.  There was a huge dead ghost crab in that one...probably due to overeating yesterday!

Also occurred to me that the huge GC holes in front of the soon to be emerging nests could be like pizza delivery to your door. We filled in a number of them today.  

Bill found a part of a large drum fish on the lower end of the island.

Finally a reminder of why we walk...the turtles but also the beauty!
