Nest #2 "Barnacle Betty" Returns!
























Thursday Team found Nest #2 right past marker #4  (Fox 1st, of course) @ 6:30 am. 
The crawl was long, tracks far apart, our 'Barnacle Betty' (tracks same as 5/21/08 1st nest) nested high above the dunes. 
Our nest was open, visited by the foraging fox...10 broken eggs and 1 egg yolk from the eggs found outside the nest.   

Steve checked the nest and found 2 broken eggs which were removed.  We checked in and around the nest for any sign of egg yolk,  but did not find any!

Team covered the nest; the cage was set securely deep in the sand.  

Congratulations to the Thursday Team and all our new walkers.

Karen Fox, Matt Ruby, Ron Alexander , Valerie and Ray Oksala, Sandy and Bob Frantom.
