This morning Chris, Nancy and I headed out to the beach to dig up Nest 10. We sort of wondered what we'd find after those big thunderstorms last night, but it was a beautiful morning on the beach.

| One happy little turtle - bet she was glad we found her |

Turtle gets some help
getting to the water
|
 |
| This was a very lively turtle |
 |
| That turtle needed our help getting out this morning |
 |
| 71 hatched, 19 unhatched |
The nest had 101 eggs counting the one we took initially for the DNA study.
Nest #12 looks like it will be the next one to go: see the ghost crab hole in the center...
 |
| Nest 12 could be next |
and see the hatchling in the dunes?
 |
| This turtle was only a short distance from Nest 12 |
 |
| A big crab! |
and see the culprit?
Chances are very good that this nest will emerge in the next day or so.
