Kelly poses with turtle
It was a real quiet night out there but finally a turtle showed up just as we were getting ready to call it quits. She was tagged during the 2001 nesting season and is observed quite often near the Marinelife Center. We took a few measurements, checked her tags and Kelly posed for a quick picture.
Remember, flash photography is not allowed on the beach during turtle season.
