We in Rocky Point and environs are fortunate to be blessed with such great beaches. I have read recently of sea turtle hatchlings finding their way to beaches of Las Conchas from the Sea of Cortez It took me back to an experience from around a million years ago when I was in my late twenties.
I was visiting relatives at the beach. We were sitting around after dinner when the phone rang. It was a neighbor who proclaimed, “They’re coming in.”
I said, “Who’s coming in and where the heck are they coming from.”
“The turtles” she said, “The turtles are coming in from the ocean to lay eggs.”
I said, “Great I’ll have two over easy.”…
Living in a tropical area on the sea as we do here in Puerto Peñasco, the hobby of birding can become quite addictive. That’s because out of the nearly 10,000 species of birds on the planet; nearly 10% are endemic to Mexico. In addition, hundreds upon hundreds of species migrate here as “winter visitors” each fall and remain as our fair weather feathered friends until spring.
