Night walk - 7/19

We had great success on our full moon night walk! We saw a nesting sea turtle just as she was done laying her eggs and she started to cover. In the distance we saw a turtle come up but she turned around and false crawled as the sand had too many shells and it was up in the dunes.

On our way back we caught the end of a nest hatching (also called a boil), and witnessed the last hatchling make its way to the ocean.

Here is a photo of the nest from the sea turtle we saw last night. It is nest 227 on our beach. The ID# to adopt the nest is: 160525
