It sounds like you've still got a lot of activity ahead of you for this turtle season. <br /><br />Thanks as well for the links back to our blog - we both appreciate it!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029030499692925697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187055833660847542.post-55586000981243652072009-08-19T14:45:19.095-04:002009-08-19T14:45:19.095-04:00Steve, I think my post was confusing you.

I didn't make it clear that there was only one nest left in our particular zone, which is Zone 2.<br /><br />There were no new nests or false crawls last week. Also last week....<br /><br />Nest 8 was dug on 8/12 with these results: 80 empty eggshells, 18 unhatched and 1 live in the nest.<br /><br />Nest 9 was dug on 8/16 with these results: 106 empty eggshells, 5 unhatched and 1 dead in the nest.<br /><br />There are still a total of 17 nests left to hatch, between the Eastern tip of the island and Tarpon Bay Beach access, which is divided into 6 zones. From that point to the Western tip of the island, SCCF uses their beach vehicle to monitor that area. I don't have their numbers in front of me at the moment, but they usually have more nests in that section.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting. :-)Tootiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924498498731536039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187055833660847542.post-55429312609128474762009-08-19T10:31:04.199-04:002009-08-19T10:31:04.199-04:00I'm so glad to hear that traffic is down.

Guess we'll have to give it a try!<br /><br />BTW, see you guys in about 3 weeks!!

Does that mean your tracking season is coming to an end?<br /><br />We've still got 12 nests in our zones - one of which is quite new so we'll watching over them until mid-October.<br /><br />Your picture and description of the Sanibel Cafe made me wish that Julie and could stop there after our Turtle walks.<br /><br />Steve<br />twoturtletrackers.comStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029030499692925697noreply@blogger.com
