Sea Turtle Indecision

Or...The Dragon found turtle tracks this morning

In fabulous news, I found sea turtle tracks during my patrol this morning. What's bizarre is I found three. Two were obviously false crawls; quick turn-arounds where the turtle came up on shore, did a fast pivot, and went back out to the Gulf. The third, pictured here, looks like the disturbed sand of a nesting. Woo-hoo!

As I left the beach, I ran into a fellow Turtle Time volunteer (Hi, Chris!) who had two false crawls in her zones. We checked the first one out and it looks like her nightly visitor had a wider plastron than mine, so we may have had two turtle ladies seeking good nesting spots last night. How wonderful is that?

I posted a few extra pictures on my facebook page. You can be a fan of Fantasy Author Sandy Lender there.
