Nests 29 & 30

We have nests 29 & 30! One more and we'll equal all of last year.

Just past dawn this morning Walkers Ruby Jenkins, Lori Porwoll, Pam Salvestrini, Francie Segal and Mary Van Duesen reported a crawl about 50 yards north of the 1st dog sign . Judy Morr and Jim Lawrence responded and found nest 29. The nest, with122 eggs, was relocated about 20 yards north to higher ground.

Bill and Linda Nelson, Tory Kindley and her friend Cindy Zock found a crawl at Boardwalk 3 and discovered 106 eggs among the trees and an ant hill for nest 30.  4 eggs were lost in the extraction from a significant ant infestation and the other 102 were moved about 40 yards south to give them an ant free start.

Nest 28

Nest 28 was found by Walkers Veronica L’Allier and Bob Mason  and guest Alishia Coelho in front of the Beach Club Villas.  Bill Greubel responded and found the 94 eggs which were moved about 15 feet back.

Nest 27

Rachel and Marshall Carter and their daughters found a crawl between Boardwalks 5 & 6. Mark and Valerie probed and the first Sunday nest on Zone 3 was found! Nest 27, with 139 total eggs, was relocated to a spot above the high tide line 50 yards south of Boardwalk 5.

Nest 26

Nest #26 today!  Definitely a record for May (previous high was 20).

Walkers Alison Bowers, Sandy MacCoss, Martha Goldstein and J-Anna Smith found yet another crawl all the way to the spit.  Valerie and Mark Doane responded and found the nest. The 152 eggs were moved to higher ground.

Nest 25

We have Nest 25!
Walkers Callie Boccaccio, Terry Fansler, Gloria Reynolds, Chris Czander, and Brenda Zack called with a crawl at the first house under construction just past the club.  Judy Morr responded and found Nest 25.  It was left in situ.
