PRG: It was a busy morning with 2 false crawls and a natural nest.
North of the clubhouse and just south of the North Beach Villas was a tidy crawl. Several beachgoers had witnessed the turtle up in the dunes and then crawl back to the ocean. Buffie analyzed the crawl with Michael, both probed and Buffie found the clutch. The nest was above the heavy wrack and HTL so it was left natural.

HOB: Judy M., subbing for Steven, also had a busy morning with 3 crawls before SS#9! Probing and digging in the 2 crawls that had potential, Judy did not find eggs but asks that Martha take a second look.
Martha arrived back from Greenville late Monday afternoon and needing to stretch her legs decided to check out today’s crawls on HOB. She started with Judy’s southernmost north of SS#9 and doing a fair amount of probing, concentrating on the middle swath of the crawl, located the egg chamber! This became HOB22 and, being high enough, she was able to leave it natural….go Martha!
