Thursday, June 8th - False Crawl #04

  Overcast with the threat of impending showers when we reached the island. Hurried up the beach and located a long 33” crawl. She crawled up at low tide to just below the high tide line, did a big loop de loop then promptly returned to the ocean. No body pit, no nesting attempt evident. Pouring with lightening by the time we completed our inspection of the scene and high tailed if off the beach.

Note this crawl shows evidence of a drag mark similar to the crawl at Nest 1 on 5-24 🔽
