More and more...

We've seen quite a few more turtles over the past few nights. We're starting to see several turtles that we've already seen this season. Katabatik, Helen, Kathleen and Lucy have returned over the past three nights. Each has been seen once already this year. We've also had two new turtles. Melanie - named after Andrew's cousin - nested on Tuesday night. Kitty - named after Rebeccah's mom - nested last night just south of the LMC. We've also seen two turtles over the past couple nights that were tagged in previous years that have not been here yet this year. It seems that we're getting a very good mix of turtles lately. We've now seen 38 individuals since we started surveying. 19 turtles were tagged in previous years, 19 were new this year. This is about average. Over the past few years about half of the turtles that we've seen are new. The entire crew is very happy to be keeping so busy out there with turtles!
