"Baby Loggerheads"
I was able to capture a nice little treat while on an assingnment with the NC Coast last night. It's the beginning of Sea Turtle season along our shores. This year we have eight nest from the northern beaches of Currituck down to Kill Devil Hills. Just after arriving to the sight these two little loggerheads popped out at the same time and made a bee line to the Atlantic with about fifty onlookers. Loggerheads are and endangered species so they are closely managed and protected during these times. Most are born during the night hours so photos are rare to get along with a no flash rule. Hope these make it to the Gulf Stream, the odds are not in their favor with a 1/1000 kill ratio.
Enjoy
