Another interesting note from today is that
Julie found a female sitting on her
failed nest by the first beach road.
The nest had two eggs some time
ago, but the eggs disappeared and we
expected nothing else to happen. It's
not yet known whether the female has
laid an egg, and we have no way of
knowing whether it was the same female
active at that nest both times. This is
the first time we have observed a
female apparently re-using a nest, though
in 2001 one of Eric's SBE1
nests had a female who kept "incubating"
with no eggs in the nest - for two weeks.
