150+ Bottlenose Dolphins and an Unidentified HumpbackWas out on the SHIP OF FOOLS and encountered a massive Bottlenose Dolphin Pod and an unidentified Humpback Whale south of Fort Tilden along with the American Princess. I don't usually go that far west when I am on my boat, but saw the action and the ocean was somewhat calm, so why not! In the Bottlenose Dolphins pods were MANY baby dolphins in the mix. They were feeding on Bunker, jumping and playing. I saw one dolphin calf getting some tough love and got bonked on the head by its mother (I'm guessing). The humpback was lunge feeding (no pictures) on bunker and the dolphins and humpbacks were very tight together. Some threshers were in on the bunker action but if you get a shot of a thresher you really got lucky, they hit so fast and then they are gone. Another great day on the waters of NY! |
