North & Hobcaw nests! Middle false crawl

North: Mark and Buffie split their walk with Mark walking south and Buffie north of their Prince George house. Mark found a crawl south #6mm with high nest potential in the V of the sand fence and alerted Buffie. She easily located the egg chamber of this classic nest making it her first find of the season, DEB15…go Buffie!

Middle: Walter had a tight turnaround crawl in front of Pioneer Place Villas. It was also in the V of the sand fence but no thrown sand or uprooted vegetation, a false crawl.

Hobcaw: Congratulations to Steven for locating the egg chamber in yesterday’s crawl north #6mm. There was a lot of wind and rain yesterday. Steven studied the photos and talked to Brandie about her experience and it paid off…great find…HOB09.
