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.

@Dragonflywoman Like to read more on this location and if you like add information on conservation site where you take these pictures.

Great picture. That would be a great addition to the Gulf Coast Wildlife mission. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/10497089
