Nest #6 for Isle of Palms

On a blustery Sunday morning with showers threatening offshore, Diane Troy and Paige Hauff found Nest #6 in Wild Dunes on the beach near the middle of the Ocean Point houses. The high wind made finding the egg chamber a real challenge because the important field signs had been blown away in the soft dry sand, and it was soft everywhere they probed. But Liz and Shawn came through and discovered 132 eggs in a precarious spot at the spring tide wrack line. These were taken out and relocated to a spot near 2804 Palm Blvd for incubation.
