The excitement is growing. Yes there were photos of the hatchlings last night. These are courtesy of the Hendrix family from Charlottesville, VA. Thanks for sharing.

WOOHOO! We have hatchlings! 89 babies from nest #1 and 69 hatchlings from nest #2 went into the water last night within minutes of each other. We have no photos of the babies...the teams were working too hard to take any. But here is a photo of nest #2 earlier in the evening. We call this a "depression". This happens when the babies start moving around in the nest. It's usually a good sign that they will "boil" soon. This was 56 days after they were laid.
