It’s nesting season for sea turtles
Since this is a blog that has turtles in the title, it’s only appropriate that I discuss turtles, other than the one I keep trying to pass at turtle speed.
There was a story in the local newspaper the other day about beach goers at Englewood Beach who discovered a loggerhead turtle nesting in broad daylight. Florida residents who live along the Gulf Coast know (or at least they should) that it’s turtle nesting season in Florida, from May 1 to Oct 31. Loggerhead turtles along with green sea turtles generally...
