North & Middle nests!

North: Tom found a crawl north #16mm near the groin which could have been the same turtle as Sunday’s false crawl. The turtle found a good nesting spot and Tom located the egg chamber.

Middle: Walter was joined by Haden this morning. They found a crawl south of WW#4 in front of the big white house (Kathi A. saw this turtle nesting last night around 10:30). Walter, inspired by Wendy’s homemade wooden T bar probe, made a tapered version and let Haden ‘test drive’ it. He probed and found a soft area and asked Walter to confirm it as the egg chamber! With practice, Haden will learn to trust his instincts….good progress!
