Waties Island Nest Count

Wednesday, May 20, 2020

Wednesday, May 20th - no nests, just a cool morning walk

Nothing exciting today, gray, overcast cool morning.  We got a good leg work out, since we walked during a high tide.  The soft sand will give your calves a good workout.  Not a large amount of trash, the normal, sunglasses - both full and pieces, a token balloon, and pieces of plastics, hats and Styrofoam.

Lots of birds, we had skimmers, plovers, sanderlings, and gulls keeping us company this morning.

I included pictures for those who are not yet able to walk with the leaders and missing their walks on Waties.  I find the shifting sand fascinating - last week you could see the car chassis by Hog Inlet, now it is almost covered up again.  The sailboat was almost totally covered, and now the silver handrails are exposed.

Pictures compliments of Sharon Turek and Leslie P

REMINDER:  If you walked last year, PLEASE submit your filled out  and signed  DNR Form -  this is a new DNR form, so everyone who wishes to walk MUST have this form submitted to Angelos.

Cool, gray morning

Interesting sand sculpture - the eyes are ghost crab holes



The car chassis is in the foreground, almost all covered up by the shifting sand
