We had 1 false crawl and 1 new nest today! I see a pattern…
Nest #79 was located in a safe location.
A good samaritan left us a note stating that 2 more hatchlings emerged from Nest #2 last night at 2:00 am. We appreciate this information!!!!
Sadly, we had a deceased juvenile Kemp’s Ridley found at the high tide line. Most likely a boat strike victim. Strand Data was taken, a report was filed with the State and it was buried on the beach. Thanks to our running friends, the Smiths, for alerting us to the turtle!
