Their cry has a distinctive drawl. There are many nests in our area. More nests appear every year in spite of the explosive growth in housing and shopping centers. The eagle parents feed the eaglets for quite a period of time. However, at a certain point in time, the parents begin pushing the young eagles out of the nest in order to teach them to fly.
Sea turtles are just about ready to come ashore and lay their eggs at the present time.
They dig huge holes, deposit their eggs, and then, it s every little turtle for him or herself. When the babies hatch, they instinctively head for the Gulf waters. However, they are easily distracted and misled by bright lights. We regularly educate those who live along the beaches to turn off their outside lights during the nesting and hatching period. Every extra second it takes for the little turtles to get to the water, dramatically increases their chances of being gobbled up by a predator.
