WAITING FOR OUR LAST NEST TO EMERGE

We continue to walk each morning to check on Nest 24 which is 58 days today.


Because of the King Tide and then Hurricane Dorian we only have a general idea of where our nest is.  So we checked a wide area for any signs.  Nothing today.  Hopefully tomorrow!


For the first time this year we have had two nests opened up due to predators other than Ghost Crabs.
We are watching for tracks.  We found these running along the base of the dune behind our sign.

On our trip back, a piece of art made by a Ghost Crab. 

As we exited the beach we saw the tracks below.  Different from what we have been seeing.

In comparing them to the picture below, could it be we now have a Raccoon?
