Waties Island Nest Count

Wednesday 5/18/22

 Beautiful Morning!  It was 61 degrees with little to no wind as I left my house before sunrise this morning.  As we got to the beach the sun was just coming up.  First thing I noticed was how high the wrack line was from the high tides we had had a couple of days ago. Around the same time as the lunar eclipse on the 15th





You can see in the pictures above how close to the dunes the wrack line is.  It was like this all the way up the beach. At the upper end, the wrack line was at the base of the dunes.  Not much beach for nesting with these high tides.

The lower end of Waties at Hog Inlet as of this morning at about mid tide.
