It was a nice and pleasant night on the beach. The wind was blowing a bit and it helped keep the temperature down and the bugs away! We had a few friends visiting us from the National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation. Jennifer and Chris made the long drive up from Fort Lauderdale to help us out and hopefully see a leatherback turtle. Sorry guys, but you left the beach too early! There was one leatherback last night. Jenny was a turtle first tagged during the 2003 season and we have observed her twice this year. Jenny is interesting because she is only the second documented turtle to nest in consecutive years here on Juno Beach. The season is sort of drawing to a close soon, but we are hoping for a few turtles over the next few days.
Check out the Tracking Page. We have updated the track of Beatrice, and it look like she may be heading back towards Florida....
