It seems that my posts tend to be a whole lot shorter than Kellys
Not too much to report from last night. We still have a few PAT tags to deploy, but we took a break from that work. Good thing - no leatherbacks! I bet the NMFS folks are happy to be reading this!! It is a long drive from Miami to Juno Beach.

The loggerheads have started to arrive en masse now. There were probably about 150 crawls last night, but I get the morning off and Julia and Laura are out there right now conducting the survey. The numbers are still pretty low for this time of year. Our nest counts: 980 Cc, Dc 40, Cm 2. You can view the current leatherback nest count here. It seems that the nest counts on all of the beaches here in Florida are down from last season (by about half) More tonight....
