Nest #4 partially boiled last night at around 8:25 pm. – early enough to see it in daylight! The 61 hatchlings went straight to the water with the exception of 1 who made a few loops and turns along the way at the water’s edge. It was over in less than 6 minutes! It was a first for some new volunteers and several nest visitors! We are glad our community had the rare opportunity to see a daylight boil! No new hatchling tracks were seen this morning.
Nest #86 was laid in a safe and high location!
