A big splash got our attention as we were leaving the USS Yorktown at the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum this afternoon. I thought it might be an Alligator, then saw a high splash of water.
The dolphin made his way up and down the stretch of water that sits between the museum boats and the shore, splashing as he went. Fortunately for me there is a dock that runs parallel to the shore and away I went to follow the unfolding drama.
A large fish started jumping out of the water trying to stay ahead of the dolphin.
He got caught!
Then got away!
Undeterred, the dolphin tried again while a Snowy Egret decided to relocate further from the action.
The volume of water and waves the dolphin splashed up was incredible to watch.
WoW!! Ellen those splash patterns are totally amazing, very cool, thanks for sharing with us 🙂
Thanks, Tai! The amount of water compared to the size of the dolphin and the force to make those patterns is just amazing. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!
You captured an amazing sequence. Just excellent!
Thanks, Belinda! Those water sprays were a lot of fun to see and photograph.
What an incredible display of activity!
Still the best fishing Dolphin I have seen.
