For Sea Turtle die hards, click for a video of another long and very unusual false crawl across man-made structures - no she didn't make a nest/lay eggs that night in May 2018; thanks to Kim for taking the video. As of yesterday nests on St Pete Beach and 6 on Shell Key. Turtle season has started!
And we are happy to report our first next outside our own condo further up the beach! Yipee! And thanks to Mary/Diane for the photo. Remember leave the beach clean, flat, dark - no lights to be shined at nesting mammas or anywhere near a nest!
We are now under a Tropical Storm Warning with coastal flooding expected, so let's hope Alberto doesn't wash over any of our nests.
UPDATE: Looks like the nest was spared . . . although hard to tell if the water seeped in underneath the top layer of sand ... only time will tell for sure --
Thanks to Kathy for this picture |
