3 North nests!

North: The turtles are spreading the love around…the North got a good dose of it this morning…

Beth, Donna and Pat St. set out on the beach around 5:45 to find turtle activity. They found 3 crawls all with high potential. Beth worked on the Prince George end with Pat while Betsy met Donna at a crawl in front of North Beach Villas. Good experience was gained today by all 4 volunteers!

DEB15 natural north #13mm – Pat did a good job locating this nest

DEB16 natural south #11mm – Pat & Beth probed & dug with Beth locating eggs.

DEB17 natural north #4mm (Beach Club walkway) Lots of uprooted vegetation. Donna probed, found soft spot & eventually reached eggs 24+ inches down. This could indicate a small clutch from a young turtle.
