    We found her! After searching for the last three days, we finally found Stewart. Kelly, Niki, Sandy and I were at it once again patrolling our beach and the beaches to the south last night. Sandy and I set ourselves up south of the Lake Worth Inlet on Palm Beach island. We were using the VHF receiver and had been hearing her signal off of the inlet at around 11pm. By midnight her signal put her location to our south so we headed that way and found a good spot to scan the ocean for her. After about 20 minutes we decided she was still moving south so once again moved a mile or two down the beach and listened again. The spot we stopped at seemed pretty good since Kelly and I found a turtle down there about two weeks ago. We turned on the VHF once again and heard - NOTHING! We waited for a while and finally heard a strong signal which seemed to be right in our vicinity. We listened as her signal became very strong and we could hear the rapid beep-beep-beep of her transmitter. This signal meant that she had been at the surface for a good amount of time or else she had exited the water. We still thought she was in the water, but were surprised that we once again heard the rapid beep-beep-beep and then a quicker pulse rate on the receiver. This could mean only one thing.... Stewart was on the beach to our north!!
    We started running to the car to race up the beach before Sandy said "maybe we should look in the night scope first" Good idea, because Stewart was only about 400 meters north of us crawling up the beach!


    We grabbed our gear and headed up the beach to find her crawling up the dune to nest. She quickly dug a nest and started to drop her eggs. Sandy and I removed her harness, checked her condition and thanked her allowing us to track her for a little while. She did seem a little happier with the transmitter off and we hope to see her again soon. Maybe ten days from now! Time for bed!

    Last night we all were looking for "Stewart" Stewart the turtle was located near the Jupiter Inlet at 7:30pm last night, so Sandy and I went looking for her with the VHF receiver while Niki and Kelly (working on her night off!) ran the beach on the bikes looking for other turtles.

    At around midnight Sandy and I heard a good signal from Stewart and it sounded like she was on the beach. We immediately called Kelly and she drove up north to try to find her. No luck, but she did find a track from a turtle that did not nest! We all thought it was the missing turtle and were very excited to see a turtle exit the water! She did not have a transmitter though, but she did have a flipper tag. It was Lyra (click that link and notice the date she was first tagged) Kelly worked her up and Sandy and I continued the search, but we were unable to locate Stewart. Niki had been tagging a new turtle down south during all of this. We all met up at the office at 3:30am to wait for satellite data to arrive from our turtles. Data arrived and showed Stewart south near MacArthur Park and I was able to locate her with the VHF this morning still heading south.

    The search continues tonight! Stewart will probably nest somewhere near the Lake Worth Inlet, and we will be waiting.

    The night started off warm (almost hot) and dry but by 3am things had changed - dramatically! I started off the night by driving along A1A looking for one of our turtles with a satellite transmitter. The Transmitter also has a VHF beacon which sends out a signal that we are able to pick with a special receiver and antenna. The turtle was "Stewart" and she was right where I thought she was going to be! I found her signal very quickly along the beach near Briny Breezes which is a small community north of Delray beach. We did not need to check her, so I left and drove north to Juno Beach. Kelly had already surveyed the south section of beach and I needed to get up there and do my part! We both rode the beach looking for leatherbacks but did not come across any of the big rubbery beasts. Instead, I found a few loggerhead turtles! Loggerheads are small (compared to leatherbacks) crusty, generally cranky, funny looking turtles with big heads! I spent a few minutes with one to tag her and collect a sample for genetics and stable isotope analysis.

    By about 2:30 the weather radar looked BAD. Kelly had decided to drive south and put her ATV away because we would not be doing any more surveying with the approaching weather. It was a good decision! The weather continued for the rest of the night and into the morning. I took a morning drive along the beach to mark loggerhead nests and see if there were any leatherbacks missed. We did not miss any!

    And now we just received data from Stewart - the turtle She nested last night in the spot where I found her earlier in the evening. She even nested less than 3 kilometers from her last nest. Nice to find a predictable leatherback!

  • Aurelia the moon jelly

    Posted on by kelly stewart Comment
    Just the one turtle last night, she arrived around 12:25 am. I found her on Singer Island, very near to where Navi and Clover nested on our 2 previous nights. There certainly seem to be leatherback hotspots this year, more than usual. it seems the beaches are still adjusting to all the changes in the past year with the hurricanes and storms. a lot of sand transport processes going on. in any case, Aurelia is a turtle that we first tagged in 2003, and we saw her only one time. I was able to take a genetic sample from her (we didn't have one) and I had to give her a new flipper tag on her left rear flipper as she'd lost that one. She was away back into the water by 1:15 am. Tonight was considerably warmer than the previous night, but still cool, and the wind really picked up around 5:45 am as we were finishing up. We'd hoped to see Stewart and Musca (2 of our GPS turtles) last night as we'd had satellite data from them to say they were in the area, but it now seems they've moved on. we'll see if we get any GPS points from them today, to see if they did nest on another beach...

  • Cold, cold, cold

    It was a cold night out there! The weather station at the Marinelife Center recorded a low temperature of 53 degrees but it felt a whole lot colder on the beach. The leatherbacks that nested last night must have been freezing. We encountered a tagged turtle here on Juno and Niki and Gwen found a turtle they tagged 10 days ago. "Stewart" was found at about 4am last night digging an egg chamber near the bluffs neighborhood. Since "Stewart" has been nesting on our survey area since 2001 we decided she would be a great candidate for satellite transmitter. Kelly and I fitted her with her transmitter and she crawled down the beach into the water. She seemed rather slow on the beach and it was probably due to the cold temperature. We now have three turtles equipped with transmitters and will be posting a few maps of their movements in the next few days. The forecast is for another cold night. Maybe we will find Windy or Icy tonight?!

  • a beautiful night

    Posted on by kelly stewart Comment
    it was the kind of night out there that you wish for every night - warm and breezy again, no bugs, bright skies with a near-full moon and big clouds passing by every once in a while. I'd switched my prediction to midnight for last night, but was still off by half an hour! we had Shelly show up at 1230 on Singer Island - Matthew and I saw her coming out of the water and since that beach is so large, she looked small - like a loggerhead maybe. but she wasn't.. all our turtles lately seem to be totally covered with the pretty white spots - Shelly was like that too. she actually is one of our bigger turtles at 163 cm long (as tall as me). we watched her do the entire nesting - and watched her disappear into the waves. we'd just headed north again and into the park when we came across a leatherback track - she was just finishing digging her egg chamber. by this time it was 220. from her rear flippers I could see she didn't have any tags, but on her left rear flipper it looked like there had been a tag there at one time because she had a semi-circular scar where the tag should be. sure enough, when we scanned her shoulder, she beeped, and I looked up the number on the sheet. she was a 2001 turtle - and she'd been tagged by Niki and Chris one night when I was out of town that first season - and they'd named her Stewart (my last name!). seems like Kelly would be a better choice for a female turtle, but it was near the end of the season (just like now) and that's what Chris calls me half the time anyway. so Stewart hasn't grown much in 2 years, and luckily she still had her PIT tag so we could identify her. we did give her a new set of flipper tags tonight though. all quiet for the rest of the night for Shana and I. even the loggerheads had been up and nested in full force earlier in the evening. hope tonight is as good...
