Third Time is a Charm! Nest #5

After two nights of false crawls, we found a nest this morning. Not absolutely sure, but we are thinking it is the same mother who visited the beach on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The width of the tracks was similar, 33 to 34 inches wide which matches those two false crawls.

This one is close to Marker 6 which is a nice section of the island for nesting.

She wasn't quite sure where to lay the nest





Our canine critter visited the nest site but did not dig - maybe he/she is just curious?


Searching, searching....



There they are!


Nest 5

She sure wandered around a bit before finally nesting





That sand dune in the entrance is HUGE!
