July 28, 2023 – #84 and a Hatching

We had 1 False Crawl at the East End and 1 Nest that had to be relocated from the heavy escarpment area.  There are 2 nests in that area that could be in jeopardy and we didn’t want a third.

Nest #84
95 eggs relocated to a safer location
Crawl Width:  104cm/41″

The False Crawl width was 93cm/36.5″

Nest #7 had a good number of hatchling tracks this morning.  They hatched sometime after Team 5 left for the night.  There was 1 straggler making his way down the runway when Patrol came by.  They saw him safely to the water.
