Welcome, Sea Turtles.
Today was long and filled with sea turtle activity. Steve and I are exhausted, so I will only share bits for our most current followers. Today, we had 2 nests and 2 false crawls. One nest had to be relocated, in which Steve did most of the work. A lot of it was caught on the Flip video recorder. 107 eggs! Very exciting for us. The second nest was high in the dunes, a perfect spot. There were also false crawls that kept us on our toes. After a very long morning on the beach, we spent the afternoon at the clubhouse socializing with the bird people and island Foundation historic carpenter, Mark. We learned a lot from him about the houses and people of Ossabaw. I will expound on this update tomorrow with pictures and details. All of a sudden the real nesting season hits! I'm not sure we're prepared but I guess we'll keep trying!
