Thomas and Dawn took the short end and only one of our nests had been harassed by ghost crabs. (N08) Poor crab is swimming for his life!
Kathy's niece is a runner so she made easy and quick work of covering the long end of the island. (The dot on the beach is our runner!)
Ariana and Kathy and I were covering the very wide, low tide beach. SURPRISE!
As I surveyed the beach closest to the dunes it looked odd so I went to investigate. Saw multiple ghost crab holes ... and, sadly, a shell right outside a crab hole. As I probed each crab hole I realized they were all going down in the same direction. At that point, Arianna found another shell about 7 feet away. We have determined this to be an undetected nest and have marked it as N09.
Once home, Leslie called and felt a cage was needed so I turned around and headed back to meet Leslie. Out we went. Installed cage and we now have N09.
