On the night of Monday, August 10, "Chica" was seen nesting again on the beach in Tortuguero, Costa Rica.

She was observed nesting by CCC Researchers and Eco-Volunteers at mile 4 1/8. While nesting, Chica was watched by a group of tourists lead by a local sea turtle guide.

"Everything looked fine," said Clare Atkinson, CCC's Field Coordinator. "I gave the transmitter a wiggle and it was still firmly attached."

Chica was tagged with the satellite transmitter the morning after nesting on the night of July 20.
