A look at a day on the beach... (Autumn reports)

We arrive at the beach just before the sun comes over the horizon...




Volunteers blocked with sunscreen and floppy hats start out their morning survey with a beautiful sunrise saying good morning...




A lurking predator has been here already...
These could belong to the night heron who likes to snack on baby turtles :-(

The night heron is on the lookout for baby turtles and knows they will soon be hatching...


Volunteers come across the tracks to assess the species and determine if the momma turtles nested or not.  These tracks belong to a loggerhead turtle...



Stay tuned for more pictures to come...
