We are happy to report that Nest #2 and Nest #5 hatched at some point during the storms last night! Thank you to those CBTW teams who put in so many hours keeping watch. We are sorry you missed the emergence, but glad the hatchlings finally appeared!
Nest #4 had a hatchling attacked by a crab.
There was also a False Crawl. Mama crawled up to and around Nest #81 and decided that spot was already occupied. We hope she returns tonight!
The King Tides arrive Aug 1-3 and again on August 27-31. The East End escarpment is eroding fast! We hope Nest #50 will be OK!
