The day stated with pouring rain and lightning, so the Thursday Volunteers went to breakfast and came back when the worst of the storm had passed. We walked the beach due to the high tide. All nests were fine, and no new sea turtle visits were discovered, that we could tell.

Lorna and Avery walked the long end and did see a snake on the beach. I am not a snake expert, I believe it is a Gray Rat Snake, a non-venomous snake. They respected our visitor and left it alone. They saw this visitor around Marker 6.
Sandy and Leslie walked the short end, and walked along the dunes on the way back to our vehicle.
