turtle day

Yesterday, we found two turtle nests on pea island. That was also the day that it thunderstormed all day. We moved the nests further up the beach to a 'safe zone'. It was an incredible and awe-inspiring experience carefully handling, transporting and relocating hundreds of sea turtle eggs. It was a bad day for photography, with the constant storms overhead, the only pictures I managed to take were with my cell phone, but some of the other interns took pictures just this morning of a turtle laying a nest, and I hope I can put some of those up. And when I can convert the video files into something useful I want to put up a wonderful video of a bear up-close I took a few days ago out on a backroad on the refuge.
