A Sea Turtle picture a day # 62


Welcome back to A Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today we are heading back down to Colima Mexico to a Sea Turtle hatchery that I have volunteered at. At the Hatchery we collect the eggs from the nests right after the turtles lay them to protect them from poachers. In 45-55 days the hatchlings emerge. We then count and collect them from their nests and release them along the beach.
This picture is of a little Mexican girl who's dad volunteered to help at the hatchery holding a newly hatched Green Sea Turtle Hatchling.
This picture was taken with a 70-200 mm Lens
See you tomorrow
