After uncovering the nest, we found 4 broken eggs on top
Jim and Bill gathering the eggs
Now it's Karen and Barb's turn, while Flossie records the count
120 good ones
Steve and Flossie digging new nest, silver bells and cockle shells
Karen and Flossie placing eggs in new nest
Marking new nest, under Steve and Barb's watchful eyes
Done
Why are those humans always playing in the sand on our beach?
Back to the peace and tranquilty of Waties!

Waties Island, the northernmost barrier island in South Carolina is roughly 4.0 km in length. It is a private undeveloped barrier island at the border of North/South Carolina. All sea turtle monitoring by this group is authorized by the SCDNR Marine Turtle Conservation Program under Permit MTP500. We strive to help protect the sea turtle, and we are at it again this season! The site will be updated often during the nesting season - May 1st through October.
