Notes

I believe they are all nesting females. I have to learn how to ID sex. they all had sand on their backs from digging. all 7 were found within a half mile of each other in about forty minutes. i was on my way home from running my dog and was not even looking for them. i wonder if i had driven down a few more roads how many i would have seen.
