Flippers


One of the exciting things we have noticed is the abundance of bottle nose dolphins in the shipping canal between Mustang Island and Corpus Christi. Dolphins are often playing around the ferries that serve as a bridge between the island and the mainland. Perhaps the most impressive show put on by the dolphins is when they play in the bow wave of the larger ships. The photo here shows a dolphin jumping in the bow wave. Click on the picture to enlarge it. Although there were 4 or 5 dolphins playing in this wave, you may only see one. They don't pose for the camera, and I was quite a distance away and didn't have a telephoto lens with me.

Check back often. If you can't, or don't want to leave a comment you may email us directly at dwink@supersat2.net

See ya.
