The Cycle Of Z

Turtles are beginning to return and lay their eggs on our beaches so please be careful not to poke anything deep in the sand above the high tide mark. Unfortunately it's also the time of the year when humans steal turtle eggs. I found this nest just after its eggs had been removed. I hope it was by the Marinos and not someone looking to sell the eggs.

And this was just too pretty not to take a picture of. Hope you like it.

Thanks. As always!!

Curious as to selling turtle eggs. I'm assuming there is a lucrative market for those? Are the eggs consumed or just sold for financial gain!

Beautiful photos as always.

Beautiful!!! nice job working in the pup on a leash!

Saw several sets of tracks this morning on Playa El Palmar as well. At least two nests (possibly three) in front of our condo alone. The Guardian was busy this morning.
