This was on Padre Island National Seashore, Texas. The release is a volunteer event where the volunteers keep seagulls at bay that would otherwise snatch up the hatchlings as breakfast.

Great picture. That would be a great addition to the Gulf Coast Wildlife mission. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1049...
