Monday, May 16th No Sea Turtle Action, high tides

 Happy Monday! We had a great walk this morning. Started out seeing the setting full moon over the marsh.  When we got to the beach the tide line was very high but we made it all the way to the jetty.

Our short end volunteers could not get around the point due to the high water. There was quite a bit of trash & lots of deer tracks. We said the animals had a beach party under the full moon last night!  The tracks of Saturday's False Crawl were still visible, which were of interest to our new volunteer.

Some of our beach findings were a new bucket was recovered, it will be washed up and stored in the shed. We recovered the black dock bumper and Leslie has possession of this find.  We saw Semipalmated Plovers on the beach and the volunteers on the lower end also experienced some plover activity.  We got to see the graceful flight of the pelicans.

We had a guest this morning, we welcomed Heather, Janice's daughter who lives in Scotland and a deer welcomed us back to the mainland.
