June 10, 2023 – Nest #15

We have Nest #15 – laid in a safe location!

Crawl Width:  80.4cm/33″

Interesting occurrence:  The egg that was used for DNA was elongated and had 2 yolks.  The eggshell was very thin and broke inside the nest.  We will be asking our resources NCWRC about this in our next meeting!
