Another gorgeous but hot morning on the island today - a view we never get tired of seeing.
It was a quiet morning until we walked to Nest 13R - it has emerged and there were lots of hatchling tracks heading to the ocean.
Nest 13R was laid on July 6th and in an area that did not have much beach. This nest was relocated to a safer place on the island - the volunteers moved and relocated 97 eggs. This nest emerged on day 57. The inventory will be this Wednesday.
