St. George Island turtle season comes to an end for 200810/07/08    It turned out that the nest had hatched, but we must have missed seeing the tracks. It was so windy during that period that they must have gotten swept clean during the night, and by the time I checked at dawn, the evidence was gone. It also happens that we miss the tracks sometimes when we have heavy rains - that will obscure the baby sea turtle tracks, too. Anyway, it is sad to see the last sea turtle nest hatch on St. George Island for the season, but there's always next year! Starting May 1st, we will start walking the beaches at dawn again, looking for the large tracks of mama sea turtles who have crawled up during the night before and layed their nests. May will be here before you know it! At right is a photographic recap of a crawl, the nest, and the baby tracks that show it has hatched! Care to respond to this blog post?
