Easter! Meghan Hogerty came over from Boca
Chica & we all went "Easter egg hunting" -
a surprising & resounding flop. Eric found one
empty nest, & I found one with eggs at
5pm, long after I had stopped looking.
The restaurant staff was overworked & short-
handed & grumpy. Things should get better
from now on, as the tourists taper off.
E-9 appears to have hatched. The ? was
sitting on the side of the nest in the
normal feeding posture as Meghan & I walked by,
& we left her alone. Meghan mentioned
doing off-season activity checks for me - I
need to work out a standardized protocol
for this now to be able to compare known
active periods to unknown periods.
