Oh, look at all those parallel lines running down the beach, those are all baby turtle tracks as far as the eye can see! The ocean looks terribly far away when you are so little.

I also really love the sea turtle, and the “petting” area where you can touch little sharks and rays. Penguins are one of my favorite things to visit at the aquarium. Of course, the gift shop is a lot of fun too, they even have this big “Bruce the shark” hanging out there.

I managed to see my first Loggerhead Turtle within the mangroves, an unfortunate soul that became trapped within the maze of roots during an exceptionally high tide and lost its life. I’ll spare you the pictures of the dead sea turtle and instead share something a little brighter.

a couple sea turtles, and a jumping sailfish but no birds. Including this one perched on a sea turtle. At first, the birds were absent, it was just that one shearwater, a sad lost Eastern Kingbird flying low over the waves, and groups of Brown Boobies making a beeline to feeding grounds. Were there going to be any birds?

Still, though, 60 sea turtles over 3 weeks? Seems odd, although officials with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality said that fish they've tested have not been killed by oil, but a lack of oxygen in the water. They also say low oxygen levels are common this time of year due to changes in temperature.

Up until recently, the only environmental issue that has been found news worthy has been the protection of the large number of sea turtles that come to these beaches to nest.

It’s almost a bucolic place; sea turtles nest on the beaches, Humpback Whales and bat rays frolic just offshore, and you can buy the freshest fish from the panga fisherman at Punta Lobos every afternoon. Judging by the number of people I know who have been there at one time or another, you might find yourself there some day.

Then I got tired and lied down and when I woke up two hours, a Bridled Tern , a Minke Whale , and a Loggerhead Sea Turtle had went by. We got great looks at the bird as it ping-ponged across the surface like a pinball on meth. It was awesome. So freaking awesome! But I felt great!
