Sunday May 24  False Crawl and Nest 2R
Today the walkers found a crawl
right at marker 9. This crawl
looked like the false crawl found Saturday. On further
up the beach, a crawl and body pit were discovered.
This time, she was on the beach for a long time and
laid her eggs. Since this is an area of the beach with no
space for dry sand during the very high tides, we moved
the eggs to a wide beach near Marker 6. 103 eggs were
relocated.

Notice the crawl length. She didn't stay long.
Now, this is better. The outgoing crawl indicates
she was on the beach  for a long time.

Nice body pit but the eggs were
well hidden


Sharon is ready to move the nest.
104 eggs found. 103 moved to high ground
