April was an incredibly busy month! Both at work, and in my "leisure" time. Now, a couple of days in to May, I finally find myself in a position to catch my breath, and catch up on my journaling.
I spent Earth Day weekend in Mustang Island with a great group of science students from Eastfield College. We were there to at least make a dent in the accumulation of manmade debris that washes ashore on our Texas beaches. We worked hard, and left a couple miles of beach looking - at least temporarily - like it looked when Cabeza de Vaca found himself marooned. Because I was WORKING, not goofing off, I didn't get photographic proof of all the life I saw, heard, smelled and tasted. But I did snap pics of a tiny sample.
I'm 90% sure this is a sub-adult Green Sea Turtle. One of several I saw cruising the North jetty of Aransas Pass while waiting for the ferry after cleaning up the beach on San Jose Island.
Welk eggs washed ashore by the hundreds on San Jose Island.
