There were no new nests on Pensacola Beach this morning, which is good!
The wind swept sea, and stinging sand, would have made moving a nest less than fun. Though work with sea turtles is always a joy, sandpapering my legs is never one of my favorite things!
I was surprised there were not any surfers, but maybe the seas were just too sloppy.
We did have lots of hatchlings last night though -- 110 at Santa Rosa and 31 at Perdido. Hope those waves help keep the predators at bay!

Really? The head-hunter trail?? What was that like?
Well, the British Raj outlawed head hunting in Borneo around the turn of the century, though it was briefly condoned during WWII. Now, it's still a trail used by wandering tribes, such as the Penan, in the heart of the Borneo jungles. Truly breath-taking!
I love your site! Glad to see the Ridley's surviving somewhere besides here and Mexico. GREAT WORK! May I link your blog to mine? My nature-loving friends must visit you.
