Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - What Dolphins Do Before A Hurricane?
The sky was dark and grey, rain was just about to arrive. I wanted one last visit with the dolphins before hunkering down. Momma and her calf came into the lagoon along with Uncle Larry and his bestie Jagger.
2 years ago, before hurricane Ian the dolphins binged on redfish knowing the water would be dirty for a few weeks so I expected the same before hurricane Milton.
I stayed close the mangroves so they had space to belly up to the sushi buffet for all you can eat. They did eat a lot of mullet but much to my surprise, they were not just focused on hurricane snacks. They were in a very playful mood, tossing around mangrove seeds, grabbing fish and even taking a few minutes to snuggle.
Post hurricane roll call: So far I have seen Spot the egret, Mikey the great egret, Skylar the osprey, Momma dolphin and her calf and Jagger a male dolphin.
Stay tuned for more tales!
