2012: Nest #10

Nest #10 5-29-2012, she came in and nested ok, but then there must have been very bright lights to the East, Panama City and she had a hard time getting back to the water, poor girl traveled 366 feet down the beach past the fisherman before she found the water. LIGHTS OUT FOR TURTLES

UPDATE:
Nest #10
118 escaped from nest
8 non hatched eggs
94% success
