dead turtles Posted by j mcfegan on April 7, 2017, 3:22 pm 2 dead turtles on the beach today. Any ideas what happened?

Re: dead turtles Posted by Gayle B on April 7, 2017, 11:23 pm, in reply to "dead turtles" It has been several days. At first there was one dead on the beach and a second one dead being washed up by the waves. Another day there was one more dead one and the birds had picked the first one clean down to its shell. So there were three for sure but maybe four? I have no idea what happened or seen anything strange.

Re: dead turtles Posted by Randy on April 10, 2017, 9:48 am, in reply to "Re: dead turtles" On the positive side, I've seen at least 5 nesting sites over the past two months. There should be a lot of babies soon. Also, the rugged protection that helps the turtles survive prevents them from being eaten at sea, so they wash up. It's not necessarily bad news.
