No activity on our beach but went to check a false crawl in Southport on the river.  34″ crawl but nowhere to go.

Nest #19 – June 14, 2016

Posted on June 14, 2016April 1, 2024 by CWB Turtle Writers

Nest #19 today.  34″ crawl located near marker 63.  We had a 40″ false crawl over at the Landing in Southport.  She bumped along the escarpment but didn’t find a safe place.

6 false crawls – June 12, 2016

Posted on June 12, 2016April 1, 2024 by CWB Turtle Writers

There were 6 false crawls this morning – two 37”, one 39”, one 31”, two 32” side by side.  This turtle had started to dig a hole but changed her mind.  We have to wonder if there were people on the beach who distracted her.
