Nest #15 Today!

Always a rewarding morning when we find a crawl. For anyone who is keeping track of nest locations on the map, today's activity is only a few feet short of Marker 6 and only a few feet above our first nest of the season.

Justin did some probing and found a soft spot. It took some digging; the eggs were down about 16 to 18 inches. Nest #15 is official!

A pretty sight

Happy Saturday Walkers :)

We did have some other action at Marker 8 too but not exactly what we wanted to see: Looks like our handicapped turtle has come back to try once more to lay a nest. We're pretty sure she did lay Nest 11 about a week and a half ago and she's now attempting to lay another one. Hope she will be successful, but that was not the case this morning. Lots of spots were probed but nothing was found. Maybe tonight??


That's her track for sure

She tried in several spots but no nest this time.
