Pensacola Beach Turtle Run, After the Storm

The beach was well wind and sea swept this morning, with nary a track in sight, which made turtle patrol very easy!



The lovely blue-green color had returned to the Gulf as the tossed sand and sediments settled out in the calming waters.



A great blue heron stalked fish along the shore.



There was a new color in the sea oats, burnt by the salt spray and winds over the last few days.



And PB nest 7111 was spared crushing with this giant piling...



I replaced the sign this morning, still amazed that the actual egg chamber was not impacted by the large wooden post. That's luck!
