This nest was laid on June 10 just above Marker 5 in the middle of the beach. 82 eggs
were relocated a few feet closer to the dunes away from the extreme high tides that the
summer brings. The hatchlings emerged on day 56 of incubation. Inventory to be announced.
Nest 2 and Nest 4 continue to be plagued by ghost crabs. Karen will be inventoring Nest 4 on Tuesday and hopefully Nest 2 also.

Hatchling tracks!! |
This is what the rain storms obliterate and cause us problems!! |
Poor Nest 2!! We are hoping all the hatchlings are gone from this nest!! |
Okay. The dead tree washed up on the upper end is being decorated by beachcombers!! We left it for your enjoyment. However, the debris washed up after these storms is formidable!! |
