Waties Island Nest Count

Wednesday, May 31st - No Sea Turtle Nesting

The Wednesday Volunteers had a grey, cloudy, chilly walk.  We were so hoping to find a crawl, and/or a nest.  No luck today.  Here's what we did see out on the island this morning.  The Ghost Crabs have discovered Nest #1 - small crabs so far.


American Oyster Catcher - note the long bright orange bill

A handsome fellow

We ran into this feisty Ghost Crab

Christine found a keeper - nice Knobbed Whelk

Small GC hole by the reed, Nest #1
