It’s hard to describe how high the tide came up. We have excavated every nest that had had any emergence. We have removed green from the nests that water was running through. We have moved some green back to the dune. Please use caution if and when you go out to sit. There really was no where to walk this during this mornings high tide.
Nest 86 had one hatchling around 3:00 yesterday afternoon and then another 60 or so just before dark.
I believe nest 84 hatched after the water receded last night. There were lots of tracks in the dune behind the nest.
