Tonight we encountered on leatherback turtle as she was laying eggs south of the Juno Beach fishing pier. She was a turtle we had tagged during the 2001 season - seven long years ago! Lucy has been nesting pretty regularly since then and she was last seen here during the 2006 season.
I do think that the season is now winding down pretty rapidly and this next weekend will likely be our last survey day. We are expecting quite a few turtles this week and I hope they show up. I like to say goodbye to them before they head off to colder waters up north.
As Sara and I are ending the night here in the office, we are contemplating the components of the Keystone Party Mix on the desk. One of the snacks listed on the bag "Midgee" is listed among the snack favorites including cheese curls, BBQ corn chips and tortilla chips. What could midgee be?? An google search comes up without any real results for this odd snack. Anybody out there know what it is?
