Fish are jumpin'...

[geechie]

...well, strictly speaking, mammals are jumpin'.

Grey and drippy day today, but the Dolphins seem to think it's Springtime, or something. They were absolutely going bugshit in the front yard this morning. They didn't appear to be feeding although they had the birds a bit worked up. Looks to me as though some of what they were doing was foreplay. No actual mating, but they're working up to it.

The pictures aren't all that great, but I'm here to tell you, it's hard trying to figure where they're going to come up next.

I got a lot of pics of a splash with nothing else in the frame.

When you see 'em showing their belly, it's often indicative of mating activity.

Every time I'd look at the camera to check if I'd gotten a good shot, they'd take to the air like a Poseiden missle. Timing is everything.

Reminds me of this ol' girl back in Amarillo!
