Thursday May 14th Practicaly Perfect

What a lovely morning! The weather was perfect, the tides cooperated, and best of all, so did the turtles. Thursday has two nests under its proverbial belt!

Jim was our good luck charm once again and found nest #4 right off the bat in zone 3. This was a textbook nest, unfortunately, laid just a little too low. 142 eggs were relocated to the edge of the dunes. 

Then the call came from Buddy. They have a nest in zone 4 in a most precarious position. Thankfully, our zone 5/6 person, Peter, had completed his area and was able to get to the nest and bring us the eggs to relocate to a much safer area of zone 4. Check out Buddy's drone pictures of what this poor turtle meandered around to lay her nest. Nest #5 was put to rest along the dunes, and both are safely incubating.
