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.
