[JiveTurkeyMoFo]

Another thing to put on your resume when you announce your candidacy for NOD Grand Pubah.

 

Good job.

I am out at the Merritt Island wildlife refuge just about every weekend going bird

watching with the wife. Last week there were a lot of big fish floating in the water

belly-up. All of the tropical trees around our house took a big hit from that

spell of 20 degree weather. Thanks for saving the turtles.

I love sea turtles and see them here in Hawaii all the time. Kudos to you and everyone in that effort! (thumbs u

[kidcolt]

Great job.

 

It is nice to start my day off with a positive story like this instead of the doom and gloom that is usually reported on the internet.

What a totally great thing to do with your time Jeff.

 

Simply outstanding.

 

Did you name that 300lb behemoth?

[TheDanimal]

Great work! Wish I was local as I would of lended a helping hand. Working with animals for me is fun but it's nothing like actually being out in the field like this!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful story. I was wondering how the cold snap in Florida would affect the native wild life. Any news on the Alligators? And I wonder if this will help combat the non-native species that have made it into the wild, Boas, Pythons, Anaconda's and venomous snakes that were released either by mistake or on purpose.

One of the coolest things ever posted on the boards.

 

But did you press the turtles before releasing them?

This is so cool! My wife and I love turtles. We have seven box turtles in our back yard...Three adults and four that were born in our back yard. We never knew that the females can hold sperm inside for up too four years until they think it's a good place to lay the eggs. The young ones are four years old now.

We would love to see a Sea turtle on a beach.

We wish we could have been there to help out.
