Morning patrol:

Last night:
- Nest 58 had 2 hatchlings emerge
- Nest 65 had 1 hatchling finally appear about midnight
Inventories:
- Nest 46 – 104 shell, 4 unhatched, 2 pipped and 3 live hatchlings (this nest lost 16 eggs to a fox on 8/4)
- Nest 57- 84 shells, 53 unhatched and 14 live hatchlings (this is the nest we moved when it was almost 2 weeks old)
- Nest 45 and 58 hatched during the heavy rains on Friday/Saturday. Since crabs started the excavation last evening by bringing shells to the surface of nest 45, we decided to go ahead and complete the inventory.
- Nest 45 – 93 shells, 5 unhatched and 2 dead hatchlings (probably crab victims)
