asking for faces with my dolphins

Today we went out on a short trip to visit our dolphins and within minutes the young four to eight year old males were all together wandering up the shipping channel. Most of their mothers are with new babies this year. As Angel, Buddy, Gumdrop, Scar, and others were playing I was whining to them that I had missed a wonderful photo op last night with two youngsters showing their faces at the same time, a photo I have still to manage after ten years with them. I laughed with them as they rubbed their tummies along the pontoon hulls of my research vessel and begged them for a great shot as my camera was ready. The couple that joined us on the boat looked at me with disbelief as I spoke to my wild dolphin study group. Then there it was , and here it is, the few seconds they gave me. They are incredible... and more blog tomorrow on new babies!!!! Oh and we had a great rare bird yesterday at the South Padre Island Convention Center too. A Black Whiskered Vireo!! See that photo on our spinaturecenter.com site...
