Nest 13
Nancy and Joel Pondelik called with a disturbance in the sand 150 yards north of the vehicle entrance at Camp St Christopher. The Nelsons responded and sure enough, it was an in and out, one on top of the other. Nest 13 was about 7 feet behind the escarpment so it was left in situ.
Nest 12
Joshua and Amanda Shilko reported a crawl near the end of the bird nesting area on North Beach. Mark and Valerie Doane investigated and Valerie found the eggs with her first probe! The nest was below the high tide line and the 126 eggs were relocated 175 yards north of the trash can adjacent to Nest 10. After the satisfaction of discovering a nest, the Shilkos also enjoyed watching dolphins strand feed in the river.
