C1 - Found May 30
The Fleming Family found the first nest of the year! The track was long - she came way in to lay her eggs. Tourists actually saw her leaving the beach at 5:30am! Nick found the eggs - 116 total. We moved it to a higher location (northeast) to protect it from storm tides. Thank you, everyone - for everything!

C2 - Found June 15
We found a nest! We found it last night during the patrol (at
about 1am) and went back to work it this morning. The nest contains 110 eggs (found by Steph). She was a tiny little thing - the track width was 30" - and she threw sand EVERYWHERE, doing a very good job of covering her eggs.

Is there any specific website, organization, or person(s) that will notify when they are hatching? I would love to see this.
