Nest #55 inventory Saturday @5:00 Nest #53 inventory results: 47 hatched, 71 unhatched and 1 live hatchling. We went on a stranded call late yesterday evening in Southport. It was absolutely the biggest loggerhead I’ve ever seen. Injuries indicated probably a boat strike and we are hoping this mornings high tide is really high.
