Nest 58
Terry Fansler, Gloria Reynolds, Ginger and Hannah Seabrook and Val Luzadder called with a wind blown crawl at the danger sign just past the club. Val's grandchildren then reported a second crawl further down the beach between the third and fourth house.
Bill & Eileen Middleton responded. The second crawl became Nest 58. Ginger and Val moved the 138 eggs back to higher ground on the dune. The crawl nearer the club was a false crawl.
Nests 56 & 57
Lucy and Ray Hoover found the crawl for nest 56 between the flag and the boat storage.. It is in situ and was found by Terry Fansler.
Paula Baram, Charlane Faught and Heather Fife reported a crawl in front of the third house north of the club. It turned out to be their first nest!! Sandy MacCoss found the nest. The 126 eggs of nest 57 were moved to the nesting area a few houses north.
There was another crawl just south of boardwalk 6 which was probed and dug by Tim Morawski, Sandy MacCoss, Terry Fansler and Bill Nelson for 2 hours but the nest was never found. The area was marked with a peg, a flag and the date.
Judy Morr, Jim & Jo Eisenhauer found another crawl near boardwalk 6. Tim Morawski probed but reported a false crawl.
We will be inventorying nest 1 on Saturday, July 8 at 3:00 PM. It is located on 5 houses north of the club.
Turtle Patrol Joins the Fourth of July Parade
The Turtle Patrol was well represented in Seabrook Island's annual Fourth of July Parade. Several Patrol members gathered in the Fansler's driveway to decorate the truck on the 3rd. Judy Morr rushed to decorate her electric cart after she finished with nest 55 early Tuesday morning. As you can see from the following photos, the Patrol's vehicles looked great.
Nest 55
Bill and Linda Nelson found the crawl for nest 55 near boardwalk 3. Judy Morr responded and located the nest with 103 eggs. It was moved to higher ground to the area near boardwalk 6.
