Middle: Donna S. and Trisha teamed up and found 2 crawls. One was an older crawl between 2 sand fences just south WW#3 with no crawl remaining on the beach. The other was also between 2 sand fences with an area of dark excavated sand. Trisha located the egg chamber, protected the natural nest and the team moved on north.
Pat O. and Chelsey had no North activity so they headed south to the other Middle crawl. Chelsey and Trisha both probed and honed in on the soft area in a long area of possibility. Chelsey dug down and found eggs which had a dime-size halo. This tells us the nest was laid 2-3 nights ago. Both Trisha and Chelsey did a great job today…YAY!
DEB16 Natural north WW#6
DEB17 Natural south WW#3
Hobcaw: Duane and Jim surveyed the south end and found a crawl just south #9mm in the only elevated area in a flat expanse also near a supply station! The turtle crawled up to the top into the vegetation. Duane probed and found a soft area which Jim also felt. Jim dug in and brought out the DNA egg…way to go!
