First North nest!

North: Steven, joined by Chelsey, subbed for Judy this morning. In front of the Ocean Park bath house walkway, they found a crawl leading up to the steps. Finding no other activity, they returned to the crawl. With Steven instructing, they studied what the turtle had done and Chelsey probed. She eventually located the chamber of DEB01…way to go! They uncovered the top of the nest to make sure no eggs were broken in probing. Duane and Trisha, finding no activity in the Middle, observed and helped get the supplies. Great teamwork!
