busy night

Posted On: Wed, 2008-04-30 15:49 by katharine

Last night started off a little sketchy with the return of the kibs (killer invisible beach scarps). After two very slow, careful passes north, I found a loggerhead nesting in the Jupiter Inlet project area. There have been a couple of loggerhead false crawls in the project area over the past few nights, but this was the first nest that we had to move. After we finished moving the eggs around 3 am, I was heading back to the office for lunch when I found Reeves nesting just north of the Jupiter Reef Club. Reeves wore a satellite transmitter in 2006 and followed an almost identical path up to New Jersey as Julianne. We also had a new turtle, Lily. We ended the morning watching a loggerhead return to the ocean a little after sunrise. It was a good night!
