Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- Dolphins Play with Cormorants
After sunrise the clouds were rolling in before a cold front making it an ideal time to grab breakfast for the dolphins. A maternity pod which is a pod consisting of moms and their calves along with a few 2-3 year olds. There was a total of 8 dolphin enjoying the morning together.
Abby the 3 year old who was recently entangled in a rope for a few days was with the group and she seemed to be doing really well! The dolphin I call Notch who I haven’t seen in a long time came in too! And of course Danika the dolphin who loves to hydroplane was helping out with the kiddos.
Dolphins love to play with the birds and today was one of those days where they were having blast teasing the cormorants. The cormorants would come flying out from under the water with a dolphin giving it a boop.
When they were not playing with the cormorants they were grabbing snacks. One of the calves was practicing her tail slap. That’s when they smack their fluke ( tail) hard on the water to get the fish swimming. Never gets old watching that little tail work it.
Stay tuned for more tales!
