any zoos in your area? any natural history museums or biology museums?
Mom always manages to see a nest or two being laid in every year (~5ac pond in front yard), unfortunately the lazy ladies drop 'em just up from the water line... and then we get a few feet extra water due to summer rains and/or hurricanes/tropical storms. The not lazy turtles will go up above any possible high water mark (sometimes across her drive and down into the woods behind, towards the creek back there) and dig their nest.
She's tried covering them with mesh grating, etc to keep out the coons/possums/foxes/etc but she's not managed to actually catch a hatchling in the act of making a break for freedom....
