Slip, Larry - I've been walking the top for the last 3 weeks and those birds are just about all airborne. The thing that really p's me off is that they no longer monitor the nests, they just pick a date and open it then - unless they find flightless birds, then they pick another date. At the meetings they said that they have to go 5 days straight without seeing chicks walking, and from walking day after day around the 4th I could see that at least 3 days went by between bird checks. That's why I posted that I thought the top would be open soon, not from talking with rangers. I don't think it'll open to Hatches unless the area between the traps and the lighthouse filled in - the beach was too thin, and I don't think the birds that nested along the back trail are flying, but they may have moved into the marsh behind Hatches. We're doing better than last year - it will be all open soon, except at High Head, where I figure maybe another 2-3 weeks. But to the best of my knowledge, there are no nests from Mission bell south to there.

Jen - Let me guess: Whit.
