The Best Gift

I told you today would be filled with adventure, and it was! I spent my birthday helping capture, measure and tag our local Hawksbill sea turtles. The best part for me was being surrounded by people who are truly passionate about helping this endangered species.

The first two put up quite a struggle, both while being brought to shore and while being measured. The third one was just plain adorable. Hard to believe that this tiny turtle is five years old.
