I was truly a neat sight to see. We have pictures with the chairs that were set around the nest before the officials put the rope around it. I have been searching the internet about any hatchings, but so far have come up empty handed. I can't wait to hear part two of your story!!tana...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03768592869510043982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-51796186076096689912009-10-01T07:56:00.925-05:002009-10-01T07:56:00.925-05:00Thanks Kelly.

It was amazing.<br /><br />MG, Part two is coming up tomorrow.<br /><br />Lee, I did have a great time.<br /><br />Yes, Adrienne, the odds are not good, which is why turtles are endangered, which is why protecting the nests is so important.<br /><br />Nora, Highlights?

I was very little at the time.<br /><br />I'm thinking about Vijaya. As I was writing all this stuff up, I thought it would be a good article for a mag.<br /><br />Do it Mary! There must be some kind of turtle watch organization you can get in touch with to find out about nest-sitting.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-10578079175788276212009-09-29T13:34:01.195-05:002009-09-29T13:34:01.195-05:00That is so interesting.

How fascinating that they have those switch-on, switch-off mechanisms and might be the link between mammals and reptiles.<br /><br />I LOVE turtles; when I was very little, my father brought nine large tortoises back from the L. A. Arboretum and I was in Seventh Heaven. I had them for years, until they hibernated (or my parents passed them on to someone else: I never knew which).<br /><br />We have a beach not far away where sea turtles come to lay their eggs. It is also protected and we hope someday to be able to do just what you did. You've got me determined to try and do this now!Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-72946779797214105462009-09-29T11:38:19.906-05:002009-09-29T11:38:19.906-05:00Oooh, Highlights would lurve an article like this ...Oooh, Highlights would lurve an article like this ... think about it.
