Tales from the lagoon ~ Episode - Dolphins, Pelicans and Ducks, Oh My!
Momma Sarabi, a familiar female dolphin, swam in early this morning and stayed for five hours. About two hours in, two large dolphins appeared — ones I haven’t met before. I’m guessing they were males… they were huge!
They grabbed some snacks and hung out with the flock of pelicans, all gathered in the mosh pit hoping to snag a fleeing mullet. The three dolphins didn’t interact much with each other, but they shared the space and enjoyed a peaceful, cooperative lunch.
The highlight of the day? Everything paused as a momma duck and her three babies swam through, heading toward the mangroves. All the chaos calmed until they were safely past — then the feeding frenzy picked right back up. It was such a sweet moment of kindness in action.
Later, the big boys swam off and a maternity pod rolled in to enjoy the mullet buffet.
Stay tuned for more Tales from the Lagoon!
