Nest 14 Emerged Overnight

Another beautiful morning walk of Waties!

Just above Marker 8 at Nest #14 we got to see lots of hatchling tracks and a large emergence hole.  The tracks were pretty long too; you could see them almost down to the water line. There were ghost crabs tracks there too, but there is safety in numbers. Hope most of them made it to the water.

They're on their way!

That old metal tank near Marker 8 has anemones in it. They are small, only about as big as a 50 cent piece and some are even smaller.

A very nice improvement has taken place: the grass and brush on the sides of the road have been trimmed! Still some good sized pot holes in the roadbed but maybe that will be taken care of too. Hope so.

AND we have a new map (thank you Angelos and Paulette) which shows the locations of the remaining nests on Waties. Good to take a picture with your phone to help you check the nests on your morning walks.
