How many Patrol Members does it take to find a nest??? A LOT, especially when it looks like a nest and feels like a nest! Thanks to Gary, Susan and Hannah for helping Teresa and Joy this morning! Our Patrol is AWESOME!
2 Nests and 3 False Crawls. Nests #18 and #19 were laid in safe locations!
The first False Crawl was near the East Point in a dune escarpment, not a safe place! The last 2 False Crawls were right next to each other. Hmm, wonder if they were related? Sadly, the mamas left without laying.
