PictureThe nest we saw makes 78 nests on our beach so far!
We had a nesting turtle last night on our night walk! She made us work for it as we walked all the way to the inlet with no nesting activity. On the way back and nearing the white office building we saw the tracks. She had finished nesting and was covering her egg chamber. So we got to see her carefully protect the eggs and then turn to go into the ocean.

The next morning, I was on morning patrol with our intern, Annie and our volunteer, Dawn. The nest we saw last night was the one and only nest of the morning so we were very fortunate to see this turtle. This nest marks nest 78 on our beach!
