This case of malicious mischief took place sometime Thursday night (August 8th). I delayed posting this because I didn’t trust myself to be objective and to not sound too angry. So here goes….. Greg was patrolling Friday morning and, as we always do, checked on the nests that were on his section of beach. What…
Exciting morning (8/5) in section C. I found H-10!!! Marked the area with abandoned beach toys and finished patrol in soaking rain as did all our team this morning!!! Thanks to Karen for being taxi for us this morning and checking on H-2 during the weather delay! After a couple of threatening weather interruptions, we finally…
Mary called in at 6:06 this morning with news of H-9 in section B. Momma T. must have nested early morning as this is a high traffic very crazy section of the beach. Regardless, it is a beautiful day in paradise and after Cathy found the top of the clutch, we carefully relocated 97 eggs. The original…
Thanks team for getting H-2 tarped and trenched last night!! Yall are the best!!! Due to weather we did not listen last night. Today is day 46 and I know it is early but I feel better knowing we have it ready just in case and keeping closer eye to hopefully keep vandals away. Please take…

OMG! What an exciting evening. Arrived at H-1 just before 7:00 to find Jerrie monitoring and hearing some activity. Still no depression. She listened until 7:15 hearing couple of good waterfalls. I decided to freshen the trench, Jerrie was educating. Cathy and Penny showed up and took over trench duty. Took a look at the…
H-8 was found this morning by Dorie Parsons! This is Dorie’s first find and her 3rd year on our team. Congrats Dorie!! To top it off it is directly in front of her home at The Palms. How convenient for Dorie and the team. No doubt Dorie will keep a close eye on this one We had a 30…
