New team member Pat Earl brought us luck this morning. Nest 1 was found on the
sandbar across from POA 11. 114 were laid. 113 eggs were relocated to a dune
near POA 8. 1 egg was taken for research. Team this morning included: New Turtle
member Pat Earl, Cyndi & Robbie White and Janie Lackman.

Nest 02
Another new team member, Jamie Kopp, brought us good luck this morning! Nest 2
was found on a dune at POA 8, but we almost missed it. After a long
crawl back and thru the wrack line, which you know is huge this year, the
loggerhead crossed over this little dune and on out to the ocean. The sand was
disturbed all over the dune so we were sure there was a nest there. So Janie and
I probed all around in the circle she drew but just couldn't find it.
We found another crawl at
POA 6, but there were no signs of a nest there.
Jamie and I walked back to command post to get a stake with ' ? ' on it. (I was
anxious to put my BK on any stake!!!) On our way back, Tony yelled for us to get
the #2 stake because Karen N. had located the nest. It was actually outside of
our original circle, but Karen had seen uprooted grasses, a pretty good sign of
nesting activity. Thank you Karen for not giving up. Betsy Koehler, with Janie
Lackman, Jamie Kopp, Karen and Tony Natoli, Billy Drysdale and Cyndi White
helped too.

Nest 03
As our team headed south today it was cloudy, cool and wet out, but soon we
discovered tracks that lead everywhere! This mama was small and had to crawl
quite a distance as she circled numerous times to find a nesting area , and then
afterwards to crawl back. It appears she was being followed by some other
humans, but her tracks took at least 20 minutes to follow, yes that long, they
were everywhere! Karen and Linda guided me with my first
probe and digging experience. Finally after several tries,
I found my first egg
and was so thrilled. We were near POA 16 (my lucky number), and decided to
leave the nest right there. Tony and Bob helped stake it out!

Nest 04
While the teams were assembling Sat morning, 5/19/12, and wondering when things
would pick up a phone rang and Janie let us know a mama turtle was still on the
beach laying her eggs. Mama was in the wrack at the Rock Beauty entrance just
where you would make the turn north to patrol Zone 1. Jim Wolbrink and Dick Work
went north to do the patrol, check nests 1 & 2, and pick up supplies to mark the
relocated nest. Karen Wolbrink and Sally Work stayed with Janie to watch mama
finish the nest & return to sea. The South team of Bev Brosnan, Dickie & Martha
Blanchard and others who Janie called came down to witness this rare occasion as
well. 88 eggs were relocated to a dune just north of the path from Rock beauty
with one taken for DNA testing. A great way to start the day.

Today's rainy patrol was eventful this morning with new turtler , Pat Earl
bringing the North team of Dickie & Martha Blanchard and Janie Lackman luck.
Even with the early morning heavy rain, tracks were clearly visible around POA
11. There was also a well defined body pit with clear signs of uprooted
vegetation. After an investigation of the area, the nest
was found by Pat Earl. Way to go. 106 eggs were in the nest. 1 egg was taken
for research and the remaining 105 were relocated to a safer area around POA 8.
The nest had two eggs that were much larger than the rest - unfortunately my
photo of this did not come out too great. Special thanks to Bev Brosnan from
South team that came up to help with supplies!

to cover all the eggs. No probing necessary. A ghost
crab however invaded and we lost about 30 eggs. Mary and Marsha moved 101
eggs back near POA 19. Janie and Tony assisted with everything else. Still

A jogger told Rich Combes who was on the north end that they had seen a crawl at
[POA 21]. Rick and I walked to [POA 21] and found a long classic crawl. Momma had nested
in the wrack and we found it quickly. It was a shallow nest with 119 eggs in it.
We relocated the nest to POA 19 which we all hope yields better results than last
year. Robbie, Rick, Cyndi, Janie, Jamie, and Gene.

Nest 11
The Zone 2 team was joined today by Atlanta visitors Marcie, Terry & Allie, and
they helped find Nest 11. Marcie spotted what turned out to be the exit track
just north of POA 23. The entrance track had been washed over and mama crawled
over wrack, so it was hard to follow her track. Then Jean K. spotted what looked
like a classic body pit at the back edge of the wrack line and, after a few
minutes of probing, we found the nest. Because of the possibility of tides
over-washing it, we moved the eggs to a dune at POA 19, just south of Nest 9.
After taking 1 egg for DNA project, we relocated 79 eggs to the new location.

The Zone 1 team – Betsy, Christina, Dickie (subbing for Martha), Rich, and Lia,
Christina’s granddaughter - found #14 this morning right in front of POA 2
marker. Dickie B. spotted the exit track and it looked as though the turtle had
left within a couple of hours of us finding her track. We found no entrance
track because of the very high tide last night. There was a big area of
disturbed sand at the start of the track, with a number of destroyed eggs on the
surface from crabs and possibly a raccoon. While Dick and I were trying to
decide where to start probing, Gucci, Renate’s dog, started showing a lot of
interest in an area. With one probe in that area we found the nest, which was
very shallow. Because of the location near wet sand and shallowness, we
relocated 98 eggs to a dune just behind the POA 2 marker. We estimate that at
least 10 other eggs were destroyed.

Found this morning just above the wrack line at POA 18. The mama
really had us fooled; we probed unsuccessfully, in the body pit near the
turn-around and exit. But Dickie finally found the nest very near the incoming
tracks. So she laid her eggs, then continued away from the water, made a big
mess throwing sand, etc, then turned around and crawled over the whole area and
back to the water. Just when we think we have it figured out. 102 eggs were
relocated to a small dune at POA 18, next to Nest 12 from last Saturday, and 1 egg
for research. Betsy, Judy, and Dickie

found a long and curving track by POA 18, which led to a nest on one of the
smaller dunes. It was left "in situ", one egg was taken for research. It did
take us several probes and exploratory holes to find the nest. For: Pat Beach,

Found this morning at POA 8 , 108 eggs were relocated to a nearby dune.
There was an egg on top of the sand so no probing was required. It was a
very shallow nest and the ghost crabs got there before we did. They only
broke two eggs so those shells were saved for research. This was Jamie's
first nest to relocate so it was very exciting for us all. Good job team.

and relocated it to a dune nearby. John and the kids found the nest, just as
two visitors were telling Janie and Judy they watched the mama laying her
eggs at about 10:00 last night. Mama found a spot far enough away from the
heavy, noisy partying by tourists on the beach, and put 108 eggs in the
ground. After Janie dug into the hole left by the crab that got two of the
eggs, the two good-looking adults probed the body pit for a while. Then John
pushed his stick in and hit the nest on his first probe. We moved 106 eggs
into the new nest on the dune, keeping the shells from the other two for
DNR. The team, especially the grandkids, had a great morning on the beach.
Michael and Pat Beach helped this morning by bringing us the supplies.

Nest 27
A long crawl just north of the stairway at POA 22 with 2 areas of disturbed
sand. The first body pit had an incomplete nest chamber about 10 inches
deep. A few feet further up another body pit which looked very promising.
Probing that pit proved fruitless but when Bob probed just in front of the
second pit he found the nest chamber. The track was narrow indicative of a
young turtle and the last 6 to 8 eggs she laid were noticeably smaller than
normal. 78 out of the 79 laid were relocated to the area just north of POA
19, the remaining egg being held out for DNA analysis.

low tide in the early am based on the tracks. Nicely formed body pit yielded
the nest to probing after just a few minutes. Nest was shallow, but held 105
