We had two Nests and 1 False Crawl today. The False Crawl width was just 1 cm difference from Nest #75, so it was most likely the same turtle.
Nest #75 was laid in a sloughing dune that had collapsed after the Mama left. 105 eggs were relocated to a safer area.
Nest #75
Crawl Width: 101cm/37.5″
Nest #76 was laid low at the high tide line. 105 eggs were relocated up to the dune area. A visiting family enjoyed watching the process!
Nest #76
Crawl Width: 93cm/36.5″
According to seaturtle.org, NC has not had an emergence yet. NC’s first nest was laid at Cape Lookout on May 6th! We may be waiting another week or so!
