Which we might have missed - a thunderstorm was passing by over the ocean and thunder and lightning made it too dangerous to be out on the beach. But the storm was moving quickly, so after a short stay back in the parking lot, we were on our way.
Nearing Marker 7 there was a faint set of tracks leading up to the face of the dune; some of the tracks had already been covered by blowing sand. But the nest site it self was still very evident and Steve was able to find that soft spot.
We had some guests with us today and they got to help too - thank you Jenn!
And thank you Suzie and Kim for sharing your pictures today.
