Three endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtles that have been nursed back to health at the National Aquarium in Baltimore are to be returned to the wild Saturday at the southern tip of Maryland. The turtles were rescued from New England and Delaware last winter suffering from cold stunning, a form of hypothermia. After six months of rehabilitation at the aquarium, the animals are being released at 11 a.m. at Point Lookout State Park in St. Mary's County, where the Potomac River joins the Chesapeake Bay.
