Morning patrol:
A fox dug into nests 46 and 51. It didn’t get to the eggs on 46 but big crab track on the side. 51 had 2 eggshells on the surface.
Overwash at nests 37, 50, and 91
Hatchling tracks in 33 (1 or 2), 28 (couple of tracks)
Nest 31 had a crevice
Last night:
Volunteers watching a hatchling making its way at nest 33 had a huge surprise. Nest #100 was boiling between nests 33 and 60. Yes, another wild nest that produced 118 very misoriented hatchlings. They were determined to go backwards and west. Thank you Jamie, Wanda and a very helpful visitor for being there.
Inventory nest 15: 83 shells, 5 unhatched, 2 dead and 1 live
Inventory nest 17: 130 shells, 5 unhatched, 3 pipped and 2 live
