We are starting to get back some of our genetics data from some of our early nesters! I wanted to share this loggerhead that nested nest #5 on our state park beach. She probably nested again this season but we only have 10% of our genetics data returned. Her nests (since 2010, when the genetics study started) have only been found on our state park beach. She must have been laid here as an egg a long time ago, how neat is that? See below for a map of all of her nests here on state park beach.
