Inventory of Sullivan's Nest #3 August 10

Nest #3 at Station 26 was laid on June 17 just north of the Station 29 path toward Station 30 and discovered by Ginger Colvin and Karen Bartlett. It was laid below the spring tide line with windblown tracks that obscured the field signs and was outside our patrol area. It contained 109 eggs that were relocated nearby to Station 26 where it incubated for 51 days before hatchlings came out. We were hoping to beat the rain storm coming in off the ocean with no sun and high wind. However, as soon as we finished, the sky opened up. We found 10 undeveloped eggs, 98 empty eggshells and no hatchlings to release. They were all gone. Hatch and Emergence Success were both 89.9%.
