Tag Archives: Pacific White-sided Dolphin

Several weeks ago a fabulous pelagic trip was the order of the day on the boat The Kraken of Anchor Charter Boats in Fort Bragg, and Shari Goforth was onboard. They saw three species of dolphins. Today I want to show you two of the Pacific White-sided Dolphins she photographed.

These dolphins like to ride the wake of a boat. That is what the dolphin is doing in the second photo.

Thanks to Shari for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

ah, today is heaven-sent. Warm with little wind - it's just feel so good to be on the Mendonoma Coast!

Ron LeValley was out on a pelagic trip off the Mendocino Coast when this Pacific White-sided Dolphin performed a complete flip close to the boat.

Ron caught all the action and assembled these six photos. The top left is the beginning of the action. Pretty amazing leap!

Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his wonderful photos with you here. To see much more of Ron's wildlife photography, here's his website: http://www.levalleyphoto.com/home/
