Excavation

I had the a Lovely night and morning off. Went into town to my recently spotted relax chamber ( a salon that gives $35 bux massages), walked back swervung the jamican tikos hissing mamacitas and more, joined the other night offers who were watching seven y ya. Morning came and it was our first overcast day. Aaah, the delight continues. a bit of reading, collaging, and yoga.

We then met as a group to witness our first excavation. The nest was one (like all) that had been monitored for 60-65 days, until we found depradation and turtle hatchling prints. Purpose of excavation is seeing the success ofnthat particlar nest.

Results, 83 perfectly hatched eggs. 7 didnt eveolve into an embryo. One that did but incompleteky, 2 yolkless egges and one livehatching, ready to surf. Very interesting day.
The nest wasnover a meter deep, and only one person should dig making a cup shape w one hand. Rook a while, and things got dirty....andone egg inparticular verysmelly and maggotty.

Now just got back and next on schedle: 8-12am patrol, and 6am canala tour with the eco volunteers. Feeling like i can take the heat now that i got my knots worked on :) hehe.

Days off are just what we need. Saludos del plato favorito de losn mosquitos! (im being eaten alive!, while inalso od on vitamin b, off, eco friendly spray and bracelets!)
