Night Walk - 6/9/18

I told the group I would have this post up by Sunday but things had gotten pretty busy! We did not see any turtle activity on our night walk but got to enjoy the beautiful evening walk on our beach, spotting bioluminescence and shooting stars.

The following morning we had one nest and 5 false crawls seen. The false crawls were very short crawls where the turtle did not make it past the high tide line.These crawls occurred much later in the night time. Nest #27 was situated below the spring high tide line so we relocated it! We moved 106 eggs very carefully to a new egg chamber on higher ground. See below for a couple pictures of our volunteers, Tori & Lee, moving the eggs!

If you would like to adopt this nest, click on the button below to be taken to the adoption page. The unique ID number for nest #27 is: 223346. The proceeds from a nest adoption helps to support our EBSP Turtle Program!
