Wentletraps and Baby's Ears
Do you hear me, BABY’S EARS? I’m coming to get you!
We found these BABY’S EARS at the Lighthouse Beach on Sanibel this afternoon but I don’t think we got them all. Clark was more focused but I was very distracted by that crazy dolphin again putting on his show. I have posted pictures of this guy (or his buddy) before but I still can’t get over how close they get to the beach! He corrals a school of fish up to the shore then practically flops right on the beach and wriggles back into the water with his meal in his mouth. It’s like “Sea World Unleashed”!
So listen up, BABY’S EARS. I’ll be back to find you again….. and this time I’ll be focused in too.
Our own little Sea World show at the Lighthouse Beach
This photographer will have great shots to take home with her
Look how close!
That is pretty amazing. We saw them very close to shore in October last year (2009).
When were there in Nov. we saw that behavior 3 times. The first time was at Gulfside Beach at sunset and with not having seen this before I was so surprised how close it came in, it’s like a rush, the dolphin moves very fast and a little loud and a little scary. I was so shocked I forgot to take a picture. The second time it was at the Lighthouse and the last time at Tarpon Beach. It’s another “WOW” experience at Sanibel.
Sheesh, I’ve seen the wacky dolphin and his amazing show many times — does that mean I’ve been missing all those baby ears??!! I’ve never found one at lighthouse beach, and for that matter, have only found one in 10 years of multi-year trips. Aaargh! Love the dolphins, but really want to find those shells! :)
