Sunday, June 17th, Nest #5 and False Crawl

Busy morning for the Sunday walkers.  Walker's on the "short end" had a nice crawl, nice body pit, and eggs were found with little difficulty.

Nest 5

Sunday Walkers: Karen, Diane, Bob, Sharon, Leslie and Paulette behind the camera

Lots of Pelican flyovers this morning

The False Crawl was just below Marker 4 - she came in at low tide and left at low tide, long crawl, both tracks.  She make it to the top of the dune, slid down a little, turned and left, we think.  There was not a visible body pit, even though Paulette did probe, just to make sure.  She had an interesting pattern within her tracks.  At least this turtle did not slide down the backside of the dune
