Sunday, May 28th, False Crawl #3

 



We had a delayed start due to inclement weather. Rainy on and off, but much brighter than expected. The sun actually did peek at us, so it is still up there.


We got a little excited when we saw the crawl, we didn’t even notice it has started to drizzle.  But Mario quickly informed us that it was a false crawl.  She was 33” wide, came right in on the left, went up to top of dune, did a little zigzag and came right back down.  


  

No body pit, no disturbance of sand - would have been a perfect spot for a nest!


She wasn’t there long, both crawls same length.  This nest is about 200ft. before Nest #01.
