Waties Island Nest Count

Friday, April 28, 2023

Friday, April 28th - Nesting season starts on Monday, May 1st

We had a Meet and Greet meeting yesterday and it was attended by a number of our new, returning, and our veteran volunteers.  Our new volunteers were able to experience the drive to the shed in the daylight vs seeing it for the first time in the dark.  Our sign in process was covered and they got to explore the shed and meet the other new volunteers and LOAs who attended.  Thank you for coming out, and it is nice to meet volunteers in the daylight.  

All of the start up work has been completed - supplies, Log Book, Numbered Markers, and buckets on poles are on the beach.  So everyone knows, the bucket and poles for Marker 5 are located at the base of the dune.  There was not a safe place to locate them by the Marker post.

There are four cages on the beach, they are for a CCU student's research project, they do not need to be checked.  Two are located toward Hog Inlet, and two toward the jetty, all are close to the Beach Access Road.

There is work being done around the shed, trees being removed and cut down.  Your LOA will keep you apprised if we need to change our parking habits. 

You will hear from your LOA shortly about start times, and contact information.

If you wish to order a shirt, hat or visor, please get your order in ASAP.  The cut off date is May 7th.
