July 9, 2023 – Super Sunday! #60 & #61

Sunday’s Morning Patrol (Joy, Kathleen, Brad, LuAnn) continues to have very busy mornings!  There were 3 False Crawls and 3 Nests today.

2 potential Mamas crawled long ways up to steep dune faces and decided against those locations.  One of those had Coyote tracks around it.

The other False Crawl took a long stroll through some low dunes (see last picture).  

Both nests were laid in safe locations.

Nest #60
Crawl Width: 99cm/38.9″

Nest #61
Crawl Width:  98cm/”38.5
