Susan and Bill Miller walking on Zone 1 called in first reporting a nice crawl with 2 possible body pits south of Camp St. Christopher. Mike Vinson probed and found Nest 34 with 104 eggs which were relocated near the camp's boat storage area.
Initially, Zone 3 walkers Judy Morr, Lindsay Capps and Kathy Thompson found two in and out crawls, and Judy Morr took GPS readings on both. Then they came to a promising crawl just south of Boardwalk 4 complete with a cute baby opossum keeping watch. Sandy MacCoss and Jane Magioncalda probed the area to find a shallow Nest 35. 143 eggs were relocated to a safer area.
Zone 2 walkers Paula Baram, Heather Fife, Charlane Faught and Joanne Gallivan found 2 crawls, both behind the houses just North of Pelican's Nest. Since all of the assigned Wednesday probers were busy, Bill and Linda Nelson agreed to come take a look. The first one which went into the rocks was a false crawl, then Bill began probing the other crawl coming in behind the 4th house North of the Club. He worked for about an hour and could not find any eggs. Then Linda relieved him and found the eggs for Nest 36! 149 eggs were relocated about 500 feet South of Boardwalk 6.
Check out the tracks from this mama - it looks like we may have had another visit from Barnacle Bella! DNA will tell us for certain when we compare with nests 9 and 21 once results come back.
