Sunday, September 27, 2020 - Nest 15R Lost, and than there are 2

 Today Nest 15R was 70 days old today, we have not seen any sign of hatching or emergence, so Sharon dug both at the DNR pole and in the ghost crab hole that was very close to the nest.  Again. nothing was found. There were 21 eggs buried in this nest on July 19. This nest is considered "Lost".  It was one of our relocated nests, there were 3 relocated nests this year.

The season is winding down, and we have 2 nests left.  Nest #16R, our last relocated nest, which is to the right of the beach access road.  It is 59 days old today.  Our last nest laid is Nest #18, laid right after Hurricane Isasias, it is 53 days old today.  It is located past Marker 3, very close to Marker 4.

We are really counting on these nests to do something - we really need some good news.
