South Walton Turtle Watch

Nest # 65 High Point

A Loggerhead who nested mighty low with many folks around her, but they gave her room but with so many of their footprints we had a hard time finding the tracks, but they circled her nest and then circled it again with red cups. Our walker,would have had to be blind to miss it. This one turned out Ok and it was fun.

Nest # 65 has been dug for evaluation
This nest was dug into by humans, we are not sure when
We found 61 eggs that had no obvious development
We know this area has lots of ground water seepage and this may have been the problem.
