A krewe of rehabilitated sea turteles were returned to the wild along the Grand Isle shoreline this week.
On March 15, 2021, 13 of the 28 cold-stunned Kempâs ridley sea turtles rehabilitated by Audubonâs Coastal Wildlife Network team were released. The endangered turtles arrived at Audubon as part of a massive cold-stunning event along the New England coast in November 2020.
The turtles released on Monday were chosen because of how well they recovered from their medical issues. Audubonâs veterinary team gave each of them a final exit examination to ensure they were ready for release.
Requiring the coronavirus vaccine would help businesses, schools get back to normal. But will they mandate it?

After receiving a shot of the coronavirus vaccine, a dose of growing immunity isn t the only thing recipients leave with. They also get a small white card with their name, date of birth, the type of vaccine received and the date to return for the second dose.
It s unclear how the cards will be used beyond serving as a reminder to return for the second dose. But as more people get inoculated, perhaps it s not hard to imagine a world in which that white card would need to be flashed to board an airplane, enter another country and even go to work or school.

“A Stage for Viewing” pavilion and sculpture, photographed in December 2020, is a gathering place at The Fly.
Who even calls the stretch of greenspace overlooking the Mississippi River “Audubon Riverview Park”? But that is its official name. The current pavilion in the park everyone refers to as “The Fly” has a history dating back more than 25 years.
That structure, officially named “A Stage for Viewing,” was damaged in October’s Hurricane Zeta in October, and the process of replacing its shredded roof is still in play.
It’s this structure’s predecessor that gave the stretch of land by the river its name. Few today can remember the original building that people thought resembled a butterfly. So the park gained the nickname “The Butterfly,” which was then shortened to “The Fly.” The building, which housed concessions and restrooms, was actually supposed to resemble gull wings.
