ANOTHER INTERESTING WEBSITE

I came across a website that had some interesting photos and videos of a Loggerhead nest hatching at night. The site is at www.fla-keys.com/turtlecam . It's better footage than my cell phone video of the Leatherback nest hatching with the 64 hatchlings, but they are equally interesting. Several nests hatched along our stretch of beach in the past couple of weeks, but several were also destroyed by wave action and high tides. Our tally to date is 35 hatched, 8 wave/storm destroyed, and 8 remaining. The most recent nest hatched yesterday (9/4/09) and had been projected to hatch on 9/11/09, using last year's average of 55 days for all 83 nests (Loggerhead and Leatherback) documented last year. All remaining nests are identified as Loggerhead nests.
