Nest 6 inventory - 7/15

We had our first public inventory on Friday the 15th. We only had one nest to inventory but we had a great turn out. We also found 4 hatchlings in the nest that we got to release. However, the gulls were waiting. We protected the hatchlings as they made their way on the sand but once they were in the water, the gulls swooped down and grabbed a couple.

It can be sad to see this happen but if we wouldn't have inventoried the nest they wouldn't have made it out - there usually is a reason they didn't make it out with everyone else.

This nest had a success rate of 78.91%
