They are the smallest of the marine turtles.<br /><br />Of the two nests we've had in our area, one was a Kemp's ridley and the other a loggerhead. It's sad that we are six weeks into our sea turtle nesting season and only had two nests. :-(Barrier Island Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03831596639306877967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11826923.post-7628094847238660752010-06-11T13:42:18.579-05:002010-06-11T13:42:18.579-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Happy walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251562118337533762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11826923.post-60392404200624163942010-06-11T09:56:27.999-05:002010-06-11T09:56:27.999-05:00I had heard yesterday that most of the dead turtle...I had heard yesterday that most of the dead turtles being found are Ridleys.

I cringe and get tears in my eyes when I see the birds covered in oil on the tv.<br /><br />I am praying for an end to it, and a minimal loss of animal life and habitat. So thankful for people like you who dedicate so much time to preserving it!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />BeckyBECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272099392249278847noreply@blogger.com
