Nest #1's 2nd Emergence


We were grateful for the break in the heat and humidity this morning.  We had no crawls today, but we did have a second emergence at Nest #1


Stragglers that were not quite ready Monday when the majority of their siblings decided it was time.
 All other nests were quiet.  No sign of any crab activity.  Traps were empty of crabs and sand.
Nest #3 is now 58 Days past and Nest #4 is 57 days past and hopefully we will be seeing something with those nests within the next week.

This morning we saw these Pelicans along the shore, something I haven't seen a whole lot of.  Back in 2002 I use to see flocks of them.  It was good to see them.
