Will Bellamy spotted two injured birds along the US Texas coast earlier this week, and the self-described animal lover delivered them to conservationists for care. But the conservationists had a message themselves, he said: watch out for distressed sea turtles. The deadly winter storm that swept across Texas and parts of the south knocked out power and water for millions. It also created a catastrophe for animals statewide – including for sea turtles prone to freezing in frigid waters. Bellamy, an Army and Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq and Haiti, spotted some turtles on Wednesday with his son Jerome. But he needed help. He alerted Captain Christopher Jason, the commander of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in southeastern Texas, and his wife, Cheryl Jason. The commander grabbed his kayak, paddled into the cold waves and retrieved a lapful of cold-shocked turtles.
