After trying hard the last two days with a total of 15 false crawls, the mamas were finally successful today. We have 4 new nests and only 1 false crawl!
The fun started early when walkers Bill and Linda Nelson, Pat Tamasy and Tory Kindley called with two crawls, one of which looked promising. Judy Morr and Lesley Gore found nest 49 near boardwalk 3 with 84 eggs and one spacer. They relocated the nest to a higher location.
Pam Salvestrini, Ruby Jenkins, Lynda Zegers and Mary Van Deusen then called with a crawl past the bird nesting area on zone 4. Mike Vinson responded and located nest 52 which was also relocated to a safer location. This nest had 123 eggs.
The zone 2 walkers, Marnie Ellis and Vicky and Bob Becker, along with some visiting family members called with two promising crawls. Jane Magioncalda and Sandy MacCoss probed one area and located nest 51 which was left in situ. Judy Morr and Lesley Gore probed an area up in the rocks just north of the Club and found nest 50 with 134 eggs which was relocated further down the beach.
