HOB nest!

Hobcaw: Susan met up with Debbie and Mitzi and had a crawl early into their walk! Susan went through the steps of determining incoming/outgoing, direction of thrown sand and how to determine the clutch location in the body pit. Debbie and Mitzi both had an opportunity to probe. Susan demonstrated since this was her first nest of the season…good teamwork!
