Category hierarchy: Animals | Reproduction | Eggs & YoungDescription: Research excavation of a loggerhead sea turtle nest (Caretta caretta) on a sandy Florida beach. The excavation is part of a county research program that keeps track of the number of nests (by species) - mostly loggerhead, a few greens, and an occasional leatherback. They excavate the nest a day or two after confirmed hatching to count unhatched eggs, dead hatchlings that did not escape the nest, and possible release of any late hatchlings.Capture device: Camera: Fuji FinePix S3100Capture details: Lens: Fujinon 6x optical zoom lens; Effective pixels 4.0 millionOriginal date: 20080825Locality: Latitude: 2.769480000000000e+001; Longitude: -8.054380000000001e+001
