Today we discovered that Nest # 10, laid on Friday, July 3, is still on the beach!! The storm didn't wash it away. Now we will watch and see if it is viable and maybe will emerge in about 10 days!!
The ghost crabs are our enemy but this year we need them to help us find our nests. Nest 10 had the secondary marker still in place after the storm, so we were able to measure and mark where the nest
should be. Today a bright white eggshell was found at a crab hole near the nest site. So, we have hope.!! Please look back to July 3 on this blog for pictures before the storm to compare to today. Our island took a bad hit in some of the places where the dunes were the best for nest laying.
