one in, one out

Only one leatherback to report for last night. We were hoping for more seeing as this is supposed to be the peak of our season. At around two a.m. Brettany and I found Shayna nesting just south of the Juno Beach Pier. Some nice people were quietly watching her lay eggs when we arrived and they were SO excited to have happened upon her. We fixed one of her tags, watched her cover up her nest and were on our way as a rain shower approached. The rest of the night was drizzly and hazy. Kelly did not see any leatherbacks, but she did see a few green turtles! We had the first green turtle nest on Juno Beach last night. So it appears that as leatherbacks make their way out of the area, in come the greens!
