FB 44 was cleaned last nite and it was wonderful!! Sophies nest was a great
success!! We released 10 loggerhead hatchlings into a calm ocean and they all
happily swam away to live a seaturtles life. The nest was really successful as a
whole. The total count was 7 live, 3 pipped live( which means that
they were just coming out of the shell when we found them),4 unhatched eggs, 1
egg that looked infertile, 4 that didn't make it and 116 hatched shells. So out
of the 135 eggs that were in your nest a total of 126 baby turtles
made it out of the nest alive. It just doesn't get a whole lot better then
that!! Thank you Sophie for adopting this nest. Sorry you couldn't be
here but we named one of the hatchlings Sophie in your honor. Enjoy the pictures
and hope to see you again next year when you come to visit.
If you have any
questions or want any more information, just email me. I do have some seaturtle
puzzles and information sheets that I can send to you in the mail if you want me
to. Just send me your home address and I will mail it out.

Thank you for loving our seaturtles the way we
do!!!
