Beautiful picturesque start to the morning over the marsh!
Leslie and I found Nests 13 & 14 on 7/15 which made them 70 days old today. After Isaias we all used markers, poles and GPS to try and find them the best we could. Most of the dunes were swept away.
So today we started with #13 and actually dug three different areas. At the GPS pole, secondary pole and a ghost crab hole between the two.
#13 dug really deep, found nothing.At #14 we went to blog checked out pictures of dunes again. Using GPS and pictures we started at
different ends and dug to the center - GPS coordinates. Again we found no signs of nest chamber.
Unfortunately both nests will be recorded as Lost Nests.
Even though we did not have a great outcome, our island always finds a way to lift our spirits!
As we were driving backWe are all hoping for a different out come with our remaining nests!!
Sharon & Leslie
