Friday Morning:
- Nest #37 had some hatchlings emerge overnight and THEN 24 more came out at 7:00 with a very sweet lady watching with Morning Patrol! She has been trying for 10 years to see a boil! Pictures attached, Video to come later!
- Nest #40 had a large depression and 1 hatchling track.
- Nest #43 had a deep depression with cracks.
- Nest #39 had a small depression behind the center of the nest, possibly crab activity.
- Nest #41 had a large crab hole.
- Nest #32 was dug into and poles knocked down by a 4 pawed animal! The animal did not reach the eggshells. Lots of paw prints.
We are supposed to get heavy rains today. I know we need it! Remember that turtles can be sneaky in the rain!
