Nest #12 Hatched

Nest #12 had a hole this morning.  We waited to see if anything happened but there was no movement.  We covered it up so hopefully it will hatch tonight.  As it’s so cool and overcast they might come out during the day so we’ll be checking it often.

We checked the nest at noon and a couple of heads and flippers were out.  We decided to wait until it hatched, which it just did at 3:00 pm.  A perfect boil resulted in about 86 hatchlings being in the water by 3:05 pm despite the bright sunshine.
