I’ve seen this little turtle a couple of times recently and realized it wasn’t one of the usual Hawaiian Green Turtles seen around here. The pointed bill is clear from above, and the edge of the shell is jagged, not curvy. These are both clear indicators that this is a Hawksbill Turtle. I think I’ve only seen one in this area before, but perhaps this one will stick around.

I saw this school of Heller’s Barracudas yesterday, in a place where I’ve previously seen them, which is probably their regular daytime resting spot. It’s an area I don’t go to nearly as often as I used to, which probably explains why I haven’t seen any for a long time.
Blackside Hawkfishes, like others of its kin, are predators that hang out waiting for prey to pass by. I have often seen the waiting part, but never seen one go after anything.
Also, according to my fish book, ‘Hawkfishes live in haremic social groups consisting of a male and several females. When the male dies, the dominant female changes sex and takes his place.’ Which begs the question, when is Trump going to do something about these kinds of scandalous activities?
A few days ago, I posted photos of a small Green Turtle I saw coming up for breaths before diving down to rest. Brian mentioned that it would be great to see the nose sticking out of the water too, and I responded that every time I tried for that shot it was either out of focus or there was no turtle to be seen!
On Saturday, I ran into what I think was the same turtle doing the same thing. This time I got a shot where the turtle’s head can actually be seen. Mind you, even when the turtle isn’t clear, the resulting photo can still be interesting.
