Tales from the Lagoon~ Episode - Reunited and It Feels So Good! 

I met the dolphin I call Momma at the end of 2017 but t the time didn’t know she was a female.  She was easy to spot because of a deep rope entanglement scar near her blow hole.  When she showed up in June 2018 with a baby I knew she was a female.  

I named her first baby Indy after the Indian River Lagoon.  In the last year I met her second baby I call river.  Momma is the first female dolphin to spend time just hanging out a few feet away.  She is kind and very patient and a really good athlete. 

It was that June when Uncle Larry came in with Momma and Indy.  Last week was the first time since them I have seen the two of them together!  It was like old times, rolling around, playing together with jagger and the other dolphins. 

When they weren’t rolling around they were all catching fish, snapper, mullet and big redfish. In the 4 1/2 years I’ve been in the water with the dolphins, I’ve never seen eh dolphin eat so many redfish as I did the two weeks leading up tot he hurricane.  My guess is they knew conditions were going to be rough for a few days and a sloppy mess afterward so they knew to belly up to the buffet to give them strength.  

Stay tuned for more tales!  

A whooper of a redfish!
