May 28, 2023 – Triple Crown! Nests #7-9

The rain cleared and we have 3 nests!  All were laid in safe locations!

Nest #7 was in the same region as yesterday’s false crawl and very high in the dune. Nests #8 & #9 were next to each other, one house width apart! Maybe they are related?

Nest #7: Crawl Width:  90.8 cm/38.5″
Nest #8: Crawl Width:  90.4 cm/37″
Nest #9: Crawl Width: 100.4 cm/41″
