AMELIA ISLAND SEA TURTLE WATCH For the 2006 nest count, click here For the 2006 excavation schedule, click here HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!  Our first turtle celebrated Mother's Day here this morning.  She came ashore on the south end on the park property.  Janet Tharin, working for the contractor responsible for the renourishment project about to begin down there, spotted the nest.  She called me, and Dotty Heritage and I rode down there.  The pictures are of Dotty (getting some experience as a new permitted volunteer) and Janet.  Eggs were found quickly and the park moved the nest out of the project area into our area.  We will monitor the nest for the next 60 days.    Keep your eyes peeled.  They are here!!!!!   click on picture to enlarge sea turtle tracks found on Mother's Day 2006 click on picture to enlarge sea turtle nest found by Janet Tharin on Mother's Day 2006   click on picture to enlarge sea turtle nest found by Janet Tharin with Dotty Heritage   click on picture to enlarge sea turtle nest found by Janet Tharin with Dotty Heritage click on picture to enlarge picture compliments of Cherry Pittman   click on picture to enlarge picture compliments of Cherry Pittman   click on picture to enlarge picture taken by Mary Raines click on picture to enlarge     Abbreviations AIP Amelia Island Plantation FC False crawl or abandoned nesting attempt, the turtle crawls out of water but does not nest.
