Two nests on IOP


Posted: 7/17/2007

Reports from Mary on the field: 

29th Avenue Isle of Palms  
Long tracks  led to a perfect spot for a nest. We were able to locate the eggs very easily and marked the spot with a sign and sticks.


31st Avenue Isle of Palms
The second nest of the day was found near Grand Pavilion in Wild Dunes. It's possible that this turtle tried twice before to find a nesting spot because there were two false crawls further north on the beach near the Boardwalk Inn. Her eggs were laid in front of a scarped dune so relocation was necessary. They were taken to a suitable spot a few doors south of 31st Avenue.
