Nothing new today.
Because of the king tides and prediction of heavy rain, we excavated everything that had hatchling evidence.
Inventory results:
Nest 26 @ 80 days: 102 unhatched eggs, 2 shells and 4 pipped eggs
Nest 30 @ 80 days: 8 unhatched eggs and 1 pipped. (76 eggs destroyed by fox 8/4)
Nest 48: 134 unhatched eggs. There were tracks around the nest yesterday morning so there may be a wild nest close by. The eggs were undeveloped.
Nest 54: 42 unhatched eggs, 27 shells and 6 dead hatchlings. ( 18 eggs destroyed by fox or crabs prior to excavation)
Nest 55: 6 unhatched, 85 shells, 4 pipped, 1 dead and 1 live hatchling. 🙂
Nest 57: 19 unhatched, 96 shells and 2 pipped eggs. Quite the surprise!
Nest 59: 33 unhatched, 72 shells, 4 pipped, 1 dead and 1 live hatchling
Green was picked up and moved to everything except nest 65. We did not pick up buckets or tools. If your stuff is out there and you want to maintain it, try to get it sometime today or tomorrow. Sometimes we don’t recognize “special” buckets and tools.
12 Remaining nests: 44(day66), 45(65), 47(65), 51(61), 52(60), 56(57), 60(52) through 65(26)
