Saturday Morning Crawl with the Lifelong Learners

Who thought we'd see another crawl? It's getting pretty late in the season, but Charlie and Linda Mataya and Karen Fox discovered a short crawl on the lower end of the island this morning. Karen Fuss had a group of Lifelong Learners coming out, so instead of probing right away, we waited until her class could witness the process. We had visitors from Surfside to Little River and everywhere inbetween, including a wonderful little 6 year old.

But things were not to be: we probed and probed, removed sand, probed and probed, removed sand and probed, but no eggs could be found. We've labeled this False Crawl #6. Maybe tomorrow?? I hope so.

We did find what appears to be a fox den on the lower end but no foxes in just then. On the way back to the van, one of the Lifelong Learners actually saw our fox sitting up in the old beach cabana. This must be her shady daytime lookout. She didn't stick around for photos.

Now if only Nest 3 would hatch...
