Waties Island Nest Count

Monday, July 13, 2020

Monday, July 13

It was hot and humid with enough of a breeze to make it bearable.  The breeze also moved the sand a bit so we were covered with a thin sheen of sand by the time we left the island.

There were no crawls today.  Bill replaced the crab trap and flag at MM6.  He removed 2 large crabs from the trap at the new nest #12 and replaced it.  Nest #11 also had a large crab hole so he put a trap there also. We found 2 egg shells on the surface. I found one egg shell under the pile the ghost crab had left behind. The other pieces were on top of the surface.

Bill removed some debris from the road.


Nest #11 with its new crab trap and flag.  The hole before I filled it in.

We found 11 balloons.  A new record for us.  I thought people had learned about the hazard of balloons!


And in the end there is always beauty!

Flossie and Bill
