Stormy Morning

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!
