Nest #4 at Station 26 was left in a rather low spot at the base of the primary dune where it was laid on June 24. It was found by Karen Bartlett and Ginger Colvin. We didn't know how many eggs were laid because we left the nest to incubate in situ which it did for 50 days. It was threated by tidal erosion on August 9 which washed away several inches of sand but did not expose the eggs. Then it had the usual threats from ghost crabs digging into it and even some ants the night
