July 2nd 2008 is it possible that Barnacle Betty returned to lay her fourth nest! It looked that way to us as Nancy and Karen got an early start at 5:30 a.m. and found the nest at marker 3. The fox beat us there but was only able to damage 7 eggs before our arrival. You can see by the tracks that it possibly was the mother fox and her baby. We had a large group of volunteers this morning totaling 15. How exciting for the children that were present to see such an amazing site. The Wednesday team photo will be posted shortly. Not present in the photo is Nancy, Marty and Karen. We had a slow start with the nest numbers but thanks to Betty we are catching up!
