Got a call this am about the siting of a dead turtle. Here's what we found
She appears to have died from natural causes. She was maybe 120lbs or so and maybe 10-15 years old (all field guesses). However, those four or more cut lines across her back may be a propeller blade, but someone else will have to make that call to be certain.
After we called the turtle hot line at 808-288-0023 (which is a pager) we left our number and waited for NOAA to call back.
Janea Howell was assigned to our turtle. She came out and we put her on a canvas. Uh . . . the turtle not Janea.
Then we began hauling her up the beach to Janea's waiting SUV.
Mind you that's an SUV. That girl (the turtle, not Janea) was stink. And Janea had to drive all the way to town with this lady in the back of her car. I hope she made it all the way to town. Wow, what a job. I hope that she had her car detailed today.
