Nest 51

Our dedicated Probers Judy Morr and Mike Vinson braved the rain and returned to North Beach this afternoon to investigate the two crawls reported by Lori Porwoll and Pam Salvestrini during their early morning patrol. Judy found nest 51! The 119 eggs were moved to their new location about 250 yards north of the trash can. Mike gave it a good try but declared the crawl nearest the spit false.

The earliest nests should be hatching soon and we’ll begin to see hatchlings like the little one pictured below.
