No nesting here yet, but likely in a few weeks, now with some warmer weather, and June 3 is is a new moon with high tides.

<div class="">I also wanted to share the yard signs I deployed this year to try to decrease road mortality in the emerging terrapin trying to make it across Bay Ave from the yards and dunes along Slaughter Beach, to the marsh on the other side. I placed 10
posters along this 1.5 mile stretch of road. I monitored the road and still picked up 110 dead terrapin hatchlings (overwintering hatchlings) through the month of April into May when the largest 'migration' occurs. This was about the same as last spring (2018)
but people did seem to be driving more slowly and I saw more people carrying the turtles - it is hard to know how many made it across Bay Ave. </div>

<div class="">I've brought the yard signs in for the 'season' (all 10 were recovered in spite of spring storms) and I will put them out when the late summer hatchlings begin their crossing. I can send a higher resolution image to individuals who want a better
