Turtle nest
Loggerhead Sea Turtles emerging from their nest. The force of the turtles pushing up to get out makes it appear that the one hatchling is standing up. Adult female sea turtles usually lay 100 or more eggs on the beach. On this occasion, more than 75 little hatchlings emerged at one time and scrambled to the ocean to begin their life.
2107
Turtles are starting to be seen all over the place. Females are looking for a good place to lay their eggs. And males are both looking for the females and experiencing wanderlust as they move from pond to pond. Some of the females may choose to lay their eggs in places far from the water so don't be surprised.

Turtle nest
Marco Island is a small sea island, or barrier island, on the Gulf Coast of the United States. Located 20 miles (32 km) south of Naples in Collier County, Florida it is 198 nautical miles to Havana. It is the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands. Marco Island is a beach and boating resort island with a small-town character. It is home to the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort and Hilton Marco Island Resort, a golf club, a yacht club, a country club, several parks, and nature areas. The six miles of uncrowded beaches on Marco Island are among the widest in Florida and feature bright white, sugar sand, and bountiful shelling opportunities. There are two public beaches (Tigertail and South Beach), a private beach complex for residents (Residents' Beach), and offshore island beaches, such as Keewaydin. It is close to the shopping and restaurants of Naples while preserving a secluded, island atmosphere with limited traffic. With over 100 miles of canals, Marco Island is a boater's paradise.
Marco Island is a principal city of the Naples–Marco Island Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 16,413 at the 2010 census. The population more than doubles in size during the winter season. A daily ferry connects the island to Key West.
Marco Island is the largest barrier island within Southwest Florida's Ten Thousand Islands area extending southerly to Cape Sable. Parts of the island have some scenic, high elevations relative to the generally flat south Florida landscape. Like the city of Naples to the north, Marco Island has a tropical climate; specifically a tropical wet and dry or savanna type (Aw under the Köppen system). It is known for its distinct wet and dry seasons, with most of the rainfall falling between the months of June and October.

I found this slider laying her eggs a short distance from a creek. I walked a circle around her so I would not disturb her.

Found a Mama slider laying her eggs when I took my daughter & grandkids to the park. Very cool sight to show them. Her yellow ears surprised me. Showed my photos to a turtle expert and was told she was very old. Her "ears" were probably red when she was younger.

Turtles store water in a special bladder. It is not urine. Females use it when laying eggs. Both males & females will release it in defensive behavior to make a predator leave them alone. It has a strong odor and does not taste good. Here is it used to turn soil into mud that is easy to dig and easy to cover up afterwards.

Turtle nest. Santa Maria Beach. Boa Vista. Cape Verde.
Kaapverdië. Cabo Verde.
The Cape Verde nesting population of Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) is the third largest population in the world after the nesting populations of Oman and Southeast Florida. It is estimated that up to 90% of the nesting occurs on the island of Boavista. The nesting females are currently being heavily exploited by poachers for their meat when they come ashore to nest. During nesting season 2007 - before Turtle Foundation started its protection program - approx. 12.000 to 15.000 nest were laid whereby approx. 1.000 female sea turtles were killed during nesting on Boavista Island.
In 2008, as a result of Turtle Foundations beach protection program, only 60 turtles were identified as killed on this beach, representing a 90% reduction in mortality.
The TURTLE FOUNDATION is fully committed to actively preventing the brutal slaughter of sea turtles by poachers each night during nesting season on Boavista, Cape Verde. By continously expanding the protection program to additional nesting beaches - by now 5 nesting beaches with a lenght of more than 20 kilometers are being protected - it was possible to reduce the number of sea turtles killed on Boavista year after year. The nesting beaches are being patrolled and protected by Turtle Foundation with support from the Cape Verde military as well as volunteers from around the world.
Common Snapping turtle, Chelydra serpentina. Viewed from the West Perth Thames Nature Trail. Mitchell, West Perth, Perth County, Ontario.
This large aggresive freshwater turtle is found only in the Americas. It is believed they can live to 100 years old.
About 50 participants led by NASA Kennedy Space Center's Employee Resource Groups picked up about 20 bags of trash and other large debris along the center's shoreline before turtle-nesting season as a community service. Sea turtle-nesting season begins in about one month. Unlike what might be found along a public beach, all of the debris that litters Kennedy’s restricted beaches washes ashore after being discarded at sea. Of the 72 miles of beach that form the eastern boundary of Brevard County, Florida, about six of those miles line Kennedy. Photo credit: NASA/Bill White
Keep an eye out for turtle nests!
This Florida red-bellied cooter chose a nice open sandy spot to nest on a hiking path near a lake. Keep your eyes open for nesting turtles while you are enjoying the outdoors, and never intentionally disturb a nesting turtle! Turtle nests, like this one, are highly vulnerable to predation from animals like raccoons and invasive species like fire ants. Some turtle species nest many times a year to increase the odds of hatchling success. Find out more about Florida’s turtles by searching “MyFWC turtle” online.

Runyon and I were out on the golf course early in the morning when we saw a large Eastern Snapping Turtle on the course. I was around 16-18" long (as far as I can tell). I saw a post that indicated that it is nesting season for these reptiles. I was so surprised that we ran back for my camera! The turtle was still there. Very cool wildlife in my neighborhood. These were taken on June 19th, 2020 at the Pine View Golf Course in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
