July 19, 2023 – Bobsey Twins! #77 & #78

We had 2 Nests and 1 False Crawl today.  Both nesting Mamas had the same crawl width!

Nest #77 was laid safely and VERY Deep!  Gary said it was the deepest nest he has dug and he has dug a lot of nests!  He was shoulder deep at the top of the eggs.  It was laid in a safe location.

Nest #77
Crawl Width:  84cm/33″

We received a call late last night about Nest #78.  (Mama had been in the process for over 45 minutes, so we figured we would miss it if we went out.)  It was in a safe location, but sadly onlookers walked all over the crawl and even on top of the nesting area.

The False Crawl Mama walked around just above the high tide line and returned to the ocean.
