Nest #38 – July 11, 2016

Morning patrol: Nest #38 is located near marker 69 by the public parking.  She had a 38″ crawl. We had a false crawl way passed the Baptist steps about marker 52.  She had a 34″ crawl and was determined to find a place to nest.  It looked like she tried twice to get up the hill.

News on the rescues: The first rescue from our beach is doing well and eating.  Her name is Reece and is named in honor of Milton and Jane Reece who were  instrumental in organizing our program that we  have today at Caswell Beach.  The second rescue, the one from the river in Southport, died Friday night during the night.   So sad, but we tried and the treatment he got at the hospital was amazing.
