First Nest of 2013 season-NMB Nest #1

Corrina was out early and came upon the crawl around 6AM. 

Beautiful crawl up the beach and back down


 Corrina shows crawl


 Nice, clear crawl

Body Pit




Rob Probes



Volunteers anxiously watch...is it or isn't it?


YES!!


Rob moves eggs back from the middle of the beach, out of the way of the heavy beach traffic,
 to the dunes


Holt helps dig a new egg chamber


Deep enough?


Putting the eggs in their new home


Marking off the nest


Great JOB..Nest #1


A huge thanks to Corrina and John who waited and waited and waited while a live stranded loggerhead was prepared for transport to the SC Sea Turtle Hospital

A big thanks to Arlene who helped with the stranding and then went to the nest site to help

And a big thanks to all the volunteers who came to the site after finishing their segment and helped find and relocate this nest.

THANK YOU Corrina, Anita and Rachelle for your pictures.
