Had a very impatient aspiring mom haul out before sunset and leave her eggs.  They normally come up in the dead of night, getting to see one before sunset was a rare treat

Sooner than later, I hope! My wife's best friend and her husband are moving to Sydney, so we'll have the excuse of "well we're already over here..." to go and see New Zealand as well.

Trailer for Lower Decks s3 looks to have lots of content from my all time favorite DS9, hoping we get lots of cameos. They gotta get Quark back at least. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMEFo6k3V5c

I work for NPS doing sea turtle monitoring, and had a rare find the other day! I had a near-albino hatchling in a nest I excavated. These are rare to start with, but what was even rarer was that it didn’t have any deformities. Typically the white ones have some sort of birth defect to them, but this little dude beat those odds and didn’t have anything apparent. He was just ready to loving go  little dude even beat his 2 siblings to the water, he had places to be and jellyfish to eat   (Put it as a timg, not sure how that works for gifs 😬)

At least a really strong leucistic, but that really pink spot on its head made me start to think think more albino. Other/better pic, with siblings:  These came from the same nest, but mom had laid over 130 eggs and these were the only 3 hatchlings still at home. The white one was the strongest of the 3, but everyone made it to the water (and that’s as much as I can ever do for them  )

In this calendar year, I've gotten into three schools, my third I am in right now (Space Cadre) is probably the best since I will earn the Space Badge in a few months once I hit 12 months in my position. I'm no sexy infantry boi with the cool kid schools (rangurrrr, parachutist+jumpmaster, air assault, or expurt) so the Space Badge is the next best thing I could earn and show that 'I sort of know my poo poo in this specific field so you all never have to worry about it' in my uniform.

It’s been a great sea turtle season out here. Second highest number of nests on record, and I got to met both moms and hatchlings (These should be gifs) This big mama is a green sea turtle. They’re rare-ish here, usually accounting for ~3-5% of our total nests. https://i.imgur.com/tlaMZ4Z.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/tSGK5hP.mp4 The last one was a miracle of a hatchling. Normally the leucistic/albino ones have some sort of birth defect to them, ranging from malformed flippers to skull/jaw deformities. This one seemingly had none of that, and just had places to loving be might’ve posted that one here before, I’ve got others to post if that’s the case e: lmao same page.

Poor guy, being pushed back to where he started. At least he seems to finally made it to the sea at the end? These are all awesome to see, great work!

Torrannor posted:Poor guy, being pushed back to where he started. At least he seems to finally made it to the sea at the end? They get rolled in the waves a lot. When the only time you’re on land* is between the nest and the tideline, you can afford to be a little awkward along the way When we release them after a nest excavation, rarely one can’t make it out to the water (for whatever reason). They get walked out as far as we can go without taking a swim and dropped in a receding wave. They’re far better swimmers than they are walkers, so we never know who’s going to survive based on how they’re acting on shore. *statistically we hatch more males than females here, we’re on the northern/cooler end of the loggerhead nesting range and their sex selection isn’t genetic like a lot of other animals. It’s temperature-based, with cooler nests producing more male hatchlings. The switchover temp is hilariously specific, I think it’s like 84.6° F.

Thought I was out, and got pulled back in one last time! We got storm-swells off of hurricane Fiona for a few days, and these little guys’ nest had taken a few waves already. The next high tide was going to come up even higher, so we did our storm protocol for this nest and checked on it. Hatchlings have it rough enough as it is, and adding “drowned underground” to that list is not a good way to go. We were worried about what we’d find once we dug in for the previous overwash, but the nest’s drainage was juuuust enough and we found 96 little dudes that were happy to be released  Leaving the island today at 1, and the sunrise was also pretty drat solid
