Nests 16 & 17

Nest 16 was reported by Karen Sewell & Betsy Quinn. It is located behind the 5th house north of the Club. Bill Greubel probed and found the eggs. Nest 16 was well above the high tide line and left in situ.

Joshua and Amanda Shilko found the crawl for Nest 17 which was located about 300 yards south of the old pier. Sandy MacCoss and Mike Vinson probed and found the eggs. The top eggs were shallow, but the nest was very deep and 158 eggs were moved to a safer area 20 yards north of the St Christopher boat shed. Judging by her tracks, depth of the nest and the large number of eggs, this was a large turtle.
