In comparison to last year's list of turtle nests on our section of beach, the 39 sea turtle nests recorded to date are about 10 less than we had recorded as of July 10 last year. At the end of last year's tally in November, we had recorded about 83 nests, but about 23 of those had been destroyed by storms and beach erosion. If our guesstimate of 55 days for the average Loggerhead nest to hatch is on target again this year, we should have several Loggerhead nests ready to hatch next week. Check out the list to find those that are due to hatch in mid-July. You can enlarge the list by double clicking on it, I believe. Get ready for some photos!
