Nest 71
We ended June with Nest 71. This gives us 45 nests in June, easily eclipsing the old record of 35 set in 2015.
The crawl was found just south of boardwalk 6. The Doanes probed and found the nest below the high tide line and 108 eggs were relocated behind the original nest. The Zone 2 walkers, Cindy Willis and Heidi Lantin were delayed (this nest is at the very end of their walk) because they were picking up large amounts of trash, thank you! Zone 3 Walkers Valerie and Mark Doane, Rachel, Marshall and Neva Carter spotted the crawl as they finished their walk.
Nest 70
Walkers on North Beach won the prize today. The mama turtle was still on the beach when Walkers Sandy MacCoss, Alison Bowers, Martha Goldstein and J-Anna Smith got to the area between the two dog signs. Bill Greubel responded and found the eggs for Nest 70 before the mama made it back to the sea. Nest 70 was able to be left in situ.
