On October 2 Nest 42 hatched after 58 days of incubation. It will be inventoried Saturday morning, October 5, at 7:15 am. Meet us on the beach at the Folly Beach County Park near the Dunes House. The County Park will be closed so you must park outside of the County Park. If raining, the inventory will proceed; if lightning, the inventory will be postponed with a new plan announced here. An inventory determines the nest’s hatch success and emergence success by counting the empty egg shells, undeveloped eggs, and dead & live hatchlings that remain in the nest. Most commonly only eggs and eggshells are found in the nest. There is NO guarantee that live hatchlings will be found.
