Loggerhead Turtles laying Eggs




Around 8pm we went out onto the beach and a female turtle was laying her eggs in a nest. According to the park ranger she was about 30 years old and was about 3 feet in length. She layed 101 eggs while we were there. Unfortunately she made her nest too close to the water and the Ranger decided we would need to move them further up so they wern't washed away when the tide came in.
