The fish were right in the middle, no place to go.

I have tried to describe a Dolphin charging just under the surface of the water. It’s like the water swells around them. The photograph above does a better job than I can.

These Dolphin hit the shore and the Pelicans were landing at the same time. They must have a great view from above to know where and when to appear.

This day Dolphins were strand feeding on the far side of this small inlet, away from my usual spot. It was later in the day and a group of people were standing too close to the waters edge.

Above the Dolphins were rolling to their right side and pushing back into the water. It’s always a right side roll.

This was impressive. The 3 Dolphin pushed fish to the shore. Waiting for them were 3 Pelican. Neither side gave any ground.

All my previous work on the project has been from the land looking towards the water. Here is the opposite direction.

The pelicans preferred it this way too I think.

Pelican Tried , Dolphins Kept The Fish

This Pelican was caught not being ready once this day. He looked determined if Dolphin came up the point again.

The Dolphin pushed the fish right to his spot. I give the Pelican credit because he jumped in middle of this. He didn’t get anything but really did try his best.
