was laid on Sunday June 10 just above Marker 5 in the middle of the beach. The nest was moved higher up on the beach to avoid the high tides. 82 eggs were buried. The nest emerged on Sunday, August 5, day 56 of incubation. Today we found 80 empty shells and 2 unhatched eggs. 96% hatch and emergence success!! WOW!! That's more like it!!
