Hobcaw: Duane stepped out WW#12 and immediately spotted a crawl that went up to the slant of the pushed up dune with tracks the same length. There was dark, piled up sand in a tight area. If a nest, it was an extremely tidy turtle. He walked on toward the inlet and found a second crawl north #7mm with a big crawl differential and a classic body pit. With no other activity, Duane returned and probed the body pit. He located the egg chamber of HOB28 on the 10th try…yay Duane! The nest was above the spring tide on a low incline.
Pat had no Middle activity so Betsy asked her to check out the crawl in Ocean Green. After analysis and multiple probes she had not found any eggs. Betsy went for backup and also found nothing soft enough to dig. They declared it a false crawl. This could be the first attempt by the turtle that nested north #7mm. She made the same pattern and came in earlier.
DNA: The results are trickling in on our egg collections. Check out the travels of our girls!
