Turtle Excavation

Digging for turtles

The baby turtle we found in the hole

Heading for the ocean!

This morning we woke up bright and early and went to our second excavation hoping to find a baby alive. Today they found one live turtle still in the nest and the girls named him "Charlie". He was a very active little guy and quickly made his way to the ocean. Both of them got to help the lady count all the hatched and unhatched shells and then bury them in the nest. We had a total of 141. They learned a lot about how the turtles lay their eggs and even saw their belly buttons. Both were very proud of themselves for saving baby Charlie.
