Padre Island National Seashore, September 12, 2018

We went to the Padre Island National Seashore.  The endangered Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles as well as Green Sea Turtles lay their eggs on the beach.  Volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them  The babies are the size of Oreo Cookies.  The are released within a day or so of hatching.  We actually saw a couple of green sea turtles swimming by the campground pier.  We haven’t been lucky enough to see any Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles.  It was a beautiful day.
