We guess the turtles decided to stay in the water because of the storms. Our volunteer teams braved the 18+ mph winds to monitor our nests and greet visitors.  We only had 1 False Crawl and it was a LONG one! There were a lot of raindrops on the nest tops and runways, but it Read More

We had 2 Nests and 1 False Crawl today.  Both nesting Mamas had the same crawl width! Nest #77 was laid safely and VERY Deep!  Gary said it was the deepest nest he has dug and he has dug a lot of nests!  He was shoulder deep at the top of the eggs.  It was Read More

We had two Nests and 1 False Crawl today.  The False Crawl width was just 1 cm difference from Nest #75, so it was most likely the same turtle. Nest #75 was laid in a sloughing dune that had collapsed after the Mama left.  105 eggs were relocated to a safer area. Nest #75 Crawl Width:  Read More

We had 3 fairly obvious False Crawls and 1  Nest today.  The deer had a party at the East End.  The nest was laid above the high tide line in a popular area.  It sure is going to be interesting when we receive the DNA on these Mamas! Nest #74Crawl Width:  104cm/41″

There were 5 False Crawls and 1 Nest today. The False crawls were spread out from the river side of the East Point all the way to Ocean Greens!  On one, Mama started a nest chamber (only 7 inches deep) and decided the sand was too hard.   Nest #73 had 97 eggs relocated to a Read More

We had 1 False Crawl and 1 possible Nesting Site today.  Patrol dug and dug and just couldn’t locate the eggs.  It will be marked and monitored, just in case.

After nothing yesterday, we had 1 False Crawl and 1 Nest this morning.  The Mama with the False Crawl went very high into the east dunes, but didn’t even attempt a body pit. Nest #69 was laid in a safe spot on a lower dune.  We were fortunate to have Karen Clark (KC) from the Read More

Can you feel the excitement???  Did you hear the “Woo Hoo!” this morning?  We believe we have a GREEN turtle nest!  We sent pictures to our State leaders and they believe we do.  We will not know for sure until we have the DNA data back or we actually get to see the Hatchlings.  I have Read More

It was a productive morning on the beach with 3 nests and 1 False Crawl! Mama for Nest #62 had a few stops in the dunes before she found her safe spot. We had Turtle Ambassadors Amy and Patrick to observe the nest finding process!  Nest #63 was also laid safely, but Nest #64 had to be relocated from Read More
