Sea Turtle Alert!

It's sea turtle nesting season here in Marco ... I think the season runs from May - November. In all of our years of coming here, we've seen plenty of turtle tracks and nests but NEVER have we seen a live turtle. They typically come up to the beach overnight to lay their eggs and are long gone before sunrise. Not the case this morning, though! One lone turtle apparently got disoriented last night and she was still SLOWLY making her way back to the water when we were on our morning walk. She eventually did make it back to the water, so that was a relief. We couldn't get close enough to take good pictures, but here are a few of the shots I was able to get:

Some of her tracks:

All in all, a GREAT and EXCITING way to start the day!

Having a wonderful time here in Marco!
