Waties Island Nest Count

Friday, July 1  Nest 12

The clouds were heavy and lightning was in the area, so the Friday walkers were sent home and Leslie and I took her truck out to the beach to look for crawls and check the nests. We found a nice, long crawl just before m.5. The body pit was high in the edge of the dunes and the ghost crabs made finding the eggs easy.
