Important Nesting Area

For just a split second I thought I was going to add to my list of things I've found on the beach. Sea Shells. Check. Seal. Check. Dead Sharks. Check. Foxes. Check. Parts of a pirate ship (Hey, it could have been). Check. Turtles. Negative. While walking the beach at sunrise we came upon this nesting area all cordoned off. We heeded the warnings and did not disturb. Two mornings later there were two biologist sitting here. They asked us to go around behind so we wouldn't leave tracks in the sand that the baby turtles couldn't negotiate. They told us that a few had hatched several days ago and they were waiting for more. For us though, it wasn't meant to be.
