Towards the end of their walk on Saturday August 7, J-Anna Smith and Marnie Ellis found a large hole near the Privateer Point end of the beach with scattered egg shells. This was declared nest 73, our first “wild nest,” or undetected nest, of the season. This nest was likely laid 55-60 days ago, but was below the Spring high tide line and field signs of its creation may have been washed away before they were discovered.
