This morning as I was riding down the beach, a friend Mona stopped me to ask me about the hatchling tracks she saw earlier. Well, I guess I am used to looking for much larger tracks because I rode right past the first leatherback nest to hatch out this season! The nest was laid by Eve on 3-21-06 and is the first to hatch. Most of the hatchlings made it to the water, but these two were left in the nest just under the sand.
Today is Caitlin's birthday and she was happy to see a pair of turtles that were laid by the first leatherback she had ever seen!
