Waties Island Nest Count

Monday, August 26 - Nest #15 Emerges

Another cool, crisp morning on Waties Island this morning.  We had another emergence this week.  Nest #15 was discovered on Saturday, June 29th, located below Marker 6.  It emerged on day 58.

The emergence hole was very visible, unfortunately due to the wind, you had to look very hard for hatchling tracks.  The information for this inventory will be sent out.

Due to this cold front,  the wind has shifted and is coming in from the East, North, East and has caused some interesting drifting sand sights on the dunes and beach.


A view you never get tired of looking at
Walkway to peace, Thanks Maddy

Classic Emergence Hole,
was visited by Ghost Crabs - see their tracks

Faint shadows of hatchling tracks

Interesting how the wind built a pedestal for this drift wood

Marker 8 - close to being buried
