We had a lovely morning to walk the island; light breeze, low humidity, and lower temps.
After last night's rain, we had downed limbs and huge puddles to navigate and the beach was pretty much erased of all overnight activity. One of our walkers noticed several areas of rain pounded depressions. Upon inspection we decided it was indeed a crawl.
After much probing we determined that this is a possible nest ... PN02.
We also came upon a deceased alligator, measured 44" long. it was positioned with nose to a ghost crab hole. Must have been a Godzilla of a ghost crab!
