Sent in by Jovani Simeon, the Senior Warden on Cousin Island, this photo shows baby Hawksbill turtles coming out during the nesting season on Cousin. Nesting begins end of August and ends beginning March. 99% of all turtles that nest on Cousin are Hawksbill. We also get green turtles, but very few each year. The eggs of Hawksbill take roughly 58 days to incubate.
