Nest 31!
Since it had been two weeks since the last nest, we were pleasantly surprised to find nest 31 this morning. Walkers Rob Jerome, Cathrine Scully, Sue Thomas and Mike Vinson reported the crawl 
and Valerie & Mark Doane responded to probe for the nest. The nest, located about 60 yards south of Boardwalk 3, was left in situ.
