52 Photos Project "At The Water`s Edge"

I spotted this dolphin on Kiawah Island /South Carolina one summer .


It is fascinating to watch the dolphins propelling themselves up onto the beach ...


...out of the water to catch the little fish which have been pushed onto the riverbank.


It is called strand feeding and this dolphin seems to have hit the jackpot looking at the amount of fish he managed to bring ashore.

    Cool. I've seen it on TV, but never in person.

    Holy cow! I've only seen this on nature shows. How amazing it must really be to witness in person. Great shots!

    Vor Sylt hab' ich schon ganz of - zumeist bei ruhigem Wetter und Seegang - Schweinswale (max. Körperlänge 1,5 m) beobachtet. Zumeist sieht man Mütter mit einem Jungen nahe an der Küste patrolieren auf der Suche nach was Freßbaren - allerdings hab' ich dabei noch nie die Beutefische so "auseinanderspratzeln" sehen... ;-)
    Schöne Aufnahmen!
    Gruß, Uwe.

    Such great captures Karen! Must have been wonderful to see this "live" in person. There's nothing more spectacular than the natural world...

    I've only got to watch dolphins in the wild a couple of times in my life - but I could watch them all day!!
    Great shots, Karen.
