We have Nest 69! It is a wild nest located between boardwalks 6 and 7. It was found by Nancy Shenton with assistance from fellow Walkers Pat Backstrom and Judy Morr. The nest had already hatched so they proceeded with the inventory after they supervised the two live hatchlings walk to the ocean..
We will inventory nests 44 & 45 on Saturday, August, 19th at 9:30 AM. They are located south of Camp St. Christopher.
We will inventory nest 47 tomorrow at 8:30 AM. It is located 200 yards north of boardwalk 1.
