Here is a final look at the 8 hatchlings just before we released them. They all looked healthy and very active and ready to go!
Thus ends the story of our first hatchlings from our first sand pile, which brought our grand total number of hatchlings from nests in 2022 to 87 baby turtles released into the salt marsh!
Stay tuned for more blogging about our 2023 hatchlings. After thinking we now knew what to expect, we were in for some big surprises!
Thanks as always for reading, and for learning more with us about our very important salt marsh keystone species, the diamondback terrapin!
