Mostly same old, same old

Steph and I were up yesterday morning to check on the wee beasties. Turt 1 was located visually and was ~12 ft from the last flagged location. The only other surprise was turt4 whose signal had moved ~20ft from her previous burrow, but it took an eternity to get a visual. Mostly because we discovered that she had burrowed down in the dirt ~5inches, deeper than we have found any of the others, thus far. When we did get a visual, she looked in good health and was not exhibiting any kind of torpor or aestivation. She looked like she was hanging out and enjoying tunneling around a nice poison oak patch. Pics to follow. Also, I took a few more data sheets up.
