From Lisa Graham [OB Team Leader] – 13 July:
The excitement continues in OB!
Sari and Rhonda (newbies) found FC6 {…clip…} and then found H-8!!! Momma T was actually spotted by our LOF night crew about 10:00 pm. She was finishing up when I arrived. She was not tagged but she was a big Momma! Needless to say I was anxiously waiting for Sari and Rhonda’s call this morning!! We relocated 90 eggs. Her crawl width was 36-38″. We had 2 families with us last night and they came back this morning to watch the relocation. As you can see from the pic, a coyote checked out the area and also marked the nest. The eggs were actually located 12″ directly under where he urinated! OMG!
A different Momma ran into loungers for HFC6. Good news is she measured 44″ and she nested at AP and they relocated 159 eggs!!!
Thanks to all our special volunteers for answering the Callemall this morning!! It is an awesome start to the day to be with all of you!
