Loggerhead Turtle Hatchling

Caretta caretta

Habitat:

Secluded inlet off of the beach at Lovers Key State Park.

Notes:

While crossing a bridge, my son spotted this little beauty swimming across a small area of water. This was one species I was hoping to see while in Florida, and thanks to my son, we got a nice look.

Thanks Neil! I was really happy to see this one, as I'm quite far from the coast and have only been there twice. This one was on my photography bucket list
