A Possible Nest?

No new crawls by our "special" turtle, but all the way up at the jetty there was a new set of tracks: and these looked very promising! The availability of good nesting sites on that part of the beach are few and far between, but this mother turtle found a good spot above the reaches of the high tides.

Tracks were evened out by the high tide overnight

Mario probed, Kinsey probed, Sarah probed, Steve probed and probed but the nest chamber wasn't found. Because it did have all the signs of a nest, the site will be labeled as a PN (possible nest). We will keep an eye on it and looks for signs of an emergence later in the season. Fingers crossed!

Thanks to Kinsey for sharing her pictures today.
