Only one turtle to report tonight. Atria was observed nesting in MacArthur Park a little after midnight. She was one of the six turtle seen on Friday night when she "false crawled" on Juno Beach. Atria had attempted to dig an egg chamber but had a hard time getting through a layer of shelly material in an area of the beach which was nourished two seasons ago. We have seen this activity before with "Sandy" one of our favorite turtles from the 2002 season. Sandy would try to nest in the nourished area only to return the next night on a natural beach.

Lots of loggerheads last night means a long morning survey ahead of me!
