Inventory of Nest 13 - Results
We had a very unique inventory last evening. The inventory of nest 13 began with breaking through a very hard sand crust created by the recent rains. Once the crust was broken the hatchlings also broke loose as the nest immediately reached a full boil. As it turns out, the reported hatching from 3 days earlier were just the first few that made it out before the rest were trapped by the hard sand. In total, 86 very lively hatchlings made their way to the ocean to the delight of the onlookers who made the long trek to the far end of the beach.
Here are the results of the inventory.
