On Saturday June 28Th Jamie and Matt found a nest on Atlantic Beach. Matt,Jamie,Barbara and Steve brought the 148 eggs to waites island to their new home. Nancy , Linda, Charlie and Karen had just finished checking the island with no new nests to report when Nancy got the call that the eggs were being transported. We were asked do we want to stay and help and we simultaneously answered yes! What a memorable experience to help dig the hole for the new nest and then remove eggs ever so carefully one by one from the bucket to the new nest. Check out the pictures but they can't convey how exciting it was to be part of the transfer. I know I'm looking forward to seeing those little turtles born. Now we have a total of 5 nests on Waites island.
