Sunrise turtles

Sales Assistant Molly Parnes was enjoying a beautiful Kittitan sunrise at the beach at Cockleshell Bay, when she noticed something moving along the shore. Much to her surprise, she’d stumbled upon a nest of sea turtle hatchlings. “I can’t tell you how personally excited I was to see them marching water and actually swimming,” said Molly. “When you hold them they would play dead, sink a little, then open their eyes again and dart off in the water.”
