North: Judy K. and Donna had 2 crawls. One was the return of the turtle with the line up the left side of her crawl (we will call her ‘Barnacle Betty’). After probing thoroughly, no chamber was found and this became the 4th false crawl from this turtle….maybe tomorrow:)

The other crawl was a different turtle and crawled over an existing nest, knocking down a stake/tape and then went up on the dune. Donna is getting good experience with these type nests and located the egg chamber…way to go:)

Certification: Congratulations to Donna Smith who has earned her SCDNR certification! Walking all three sections with different volunteers, Donna has had good training, sends in good data/photos and is becoming comfortable with the nest-locating process. She and husband Sid, came to DeBordieu via CT 8 years ago. Donna first became interested in turtles by walking her dog on the North and running into Ingrid and Tom. Frankie later encouraged her to join our group. Donna’s interests are playing mahjong, fly fishing, cooking and biking DeBordieu. We are proud of your accomplishment!
