Gordon’s Surprise for Alabama Point
So here we are 8 days from the end of morning patrols for the year. 102 nests are on the books. No new nests have been found since A-44 on the 6th, 17 days ago. I am thinking we are about done though they are getting a few nests down the panhandle.
There was a Green Sea Turtle nest on Cape San Blas, FL 5 days ago.
East Beach is done with their 1 nest for the season and West Beach is down to 1 that should be done in the next week.
I calculate that we should have about 1 hatching a day between now and October 1. If you need nest sitters call Jessica / Sparkie or Bill & Bonnie, they have lots of good people that are eager to help.

I have returned to Orange Beach for vacation just like I do every year. I stay at the Silver Beach Condo. One year I helped with a turtle nest. I see there is another one this year in front of my condo. Can you tell me the status of this nest. I sponsor 2 nest each year.
Kathy, The nest you ask about is H-9. We have not tarped this nest yet, but will be doing so next week. The hatch could be 10 – 15 days away… maybe.
I had the pleasure to be in OB last week et daily checked a tarped nest west of the Turqoise Palace hasit hatched yet since I am back in Iowa. Thanks.
Sandi, The nest H-8 has not hatched yet. We are hearing sounds of their movement and expect their emergence within a couple of days.
