False Crawls #5 & #6

False Crawl #6 - An incomplete nest was found 165' before mm#6.

We found this bobcat print at the site this turtle was attempting to nest and part way down the outgoing track.
 If you look close, you can see the print above at the bottom of the picture to the left.
 
 


The tide was coming in.  There was no difference in the lengths of the incoming and outgoing tracks.

The next two pictures show the print in her outgoing track part way down from her nest.



Another view of False Crawl #6 on the left.













False Crawl #5 was just below MM#1 and just before Nest #5.  This turtle was in and out with no attempt to nest. 


Just as in false crawl #6,  there was no difference between the incoming and outgoing tracks of false crawl #5
