Pop tops a popping, flip flops a flopping, black flies a biting, the sunshine is shining down,
Loggerhead sea turtle crawl tracks
Jerry Alexander was having those summertime feelings when he found sea turtle nest #22 this a.m. in South Nags Head. The second nest find for Jerry for 2016.
Jerry is all smiles with his second sea turtle nest find for 2016
Everyone knows just how much Karen Clark (KC ) likes those early a.m. phone calls (especially on Sat and Sun interrupting family time), but she always takes them in stride and her notes of joy to call Charlotte at the NEST hot line brought forth lots of NEST volunteers to the nest site.
Hmmmm, just where could the eggs be?
There are the eggs … and Paul found the first one
The nest enclosure is made
Everyone helps with the nest enclosure
The biteing black flies called in for reinforcements which expedited the placing of the stakes and finishing the measurements. The NEST response team posed for the group picture and Gail always the teacher dismissed the group for recess.
