Nest #1 found in Corolla

   June 4th 2011 Nest#1: A false crawl was reported by N.E.S.T. ATV rider around 5:45 AM. Tides indicated that the Loggerhead was probably on the beach between 9PM and 10PM because we could see she left the beach slightly after high tide. Just over 4 miles south of the false crawl, the same ATV rider then found a successful nest. The crawl width and time match up to indicate that this was probably the same Loggerhead. We suspect that she made a second attempt sometime between 11PM and 2AM.

   August 4th 2011: Nest #1 in Corolla was on day 61 of incubation. A sink hole formed between 4:30 – 7:00 pm and they saw the first Loggerhead hatchling at 9:00 pm. The nest boiled at 9:20 pm. and they had about 74 hatchlings emerge.

Nest#3 Final Total:
107 hatched
17 whole eggs most were very early in development, one was almost complete, one albino almost completely developed
