Sea Turtle Nest in Florida Keys

View a Live Turtle Webcam in the Lower Florida Keys
Let the fun begin !!
Environmental enthusiasts should be able to observe infant loggerhead sea turtles hatching and emerging from their nest, via this live streaming “turtle webcam” installed on a private beach on Big Pine Key in the Lower Florida Keys. The camera, funded by the Florida Keys Tourist Development Council, currently is focused on a nest with eggs projected to hatch sometime between Aug. 27 and Sept.3. Afterwards, plans call for relocating the webcam to other nearby nests.
Approximate dates loggerhead turtles are
expected to hatch::
Nest 1 Failed to hatch by Aug. 25 (Cam moved to Nest #2)
Nest 2 Nighttime hours of Aug. 27 (Hatched)
Nest 3 Nighttime hours Sept. 1 THEY HATCHED AND I SAW IT 8:52P WOW WOW! It was truly amazing but so fast! From the first little guy all of a sudden they all are out and running. I captured it all on a quicktime movie but I don't know how to post it
but heres a few of my capture pictures. And their was a hammie who was the last, did a backflip, and struggled but made it. sooo cute!

Rich loves turtles, so maybe we'll get lucky and catch one of the nests hatching!

Its pretty addictive. I saw a deer go by before the sun set. I just hope I can tell between a large crab and a sea turtle in size. Im guessing the turtle will be bigger.Good luck ! I hope one of us sees something

Bet you find the only Hermit Crab in the area changing it's home!
In fact, I can't wait to see what you see

Just remember that the crab walks sideways and has many legs (think big
with a shell) and the turtle skooches and only has 4 legs...(just trying to be helpful here!)

Judi, when I saw the crab
(with shell) that I thought was a turtle, it was a very blurry shot. All I saw was movement. After a few seconds, I realized, it was NOT a turtle. Actually, it moved to fast and it was only 1. Thanks

This guy was raking the seaweed into a pile. Wouldn't that make it harder for the hatchlings to reach the water? ???

Now they are flattening the seaweed. Guess it's better than picking it up!

I thought people, animals, and things were supposed to stay away from the nests. ???

Yeah well...
I saw a pretty big lizard go by yesterday and I thought he was going to dig up the eggs.
Guess they can't keep everything away
