Happy World Turtle Day!

We found another 7 nests this morning, bringing our turtle to 54 nests and 31 false crawls. We are excited to share that on Tuesday morning we found suspicious tracks that look like a Green sea turtle crawled onto our beach! Unfortunately she did not lay but we are hopeful that she will return. 

Loggerheads move with an alternating flipper pattern whereas Greens move with a parallel movement with both flippers at the same time. See the pictures below to see the difference!
