1 North & 4 Hobcaw nests/4 false crawls

Volunteers were busy in all three sections this morning with a total of 9 crawls…what an amazing nesting season! Many are asking about when nests will begin hatching. We expect that to happen mid-July.

DEB43  natural north #13mm (Prince George) 

DEBFC19  false crawl north #6mm (Ocean Park) 

Middle: Kathy C. had 1 crawl:

DEBFC20  false crawl south WW#5 

Hobcaw: Martha had 6 crawls and shared one with Kathy C.:
