I love these birds. They just camp out on the pier. Know what this one is? (Gulf Pier, Fort Desoto)

THESE DOLPHINS ARE HAVING SEX! The first thing I thought was – why wasn’t my mom here for this? I mean she brings home squirrel skulls, why wouldn’t she like to see two mammals doing it? It was weird. We thought they were just playing around. Then they got closer, and allowed this shot, so we could see what was really going on. Their genitals were red and pink. There was no mistaking what was going on here. These things were doing it. Or at least they were fighting over mates. There were three dolphins in each exchange we saw. I’ll have to look into their mating patterns and get back, but it was crazy to watch nonetheless. They were turning upside down and flipping and frolicing and having a good time. The water was inviting until you knew what happened here. There were also dolphins off of North Beach and St Pete Beach, maybe it’s when they get down.

This is a shot from the Gulf Pier. It’s one of the best, to come I assure, of dolphins that I took. They don’t follow the timing of a crappy cell phone camera so they became a nightmare to prove. We ended up seeing almost 15 of these things in total I think. Maybe more. Just wait.

I will tell you what type of bird this is; but maybe you’ll get it before I do? (Gulf Pier, Fort Desoto)

This is the view towards the southern tip of North Beach from Gulf Pier. It’s also the view to the remains of Fort Desoto.

This is just another shot of the pier in the corner of Fort Desoto.

The Gulf Pier is being invaded! (Fort Desoto)

What else should I say? The Gulf Pier at Fort Desoto. It’s a fishing pier so there are at least five different types of birds looking for a quick bite. People bring in fish, so there is birds. People catch bait with nets so there are birds awaiting. Last year the attraction was manatees, this year it was a ton of dolphins.

Honestly I want to take pictures of everyone who looks like they are having a good time. These two, who you won’t see until you enlarge, are having a great time. This place is a good reason to have kids, to show it to them.

This bird was somewhat crazy. He moved towards you then jumped up and glided down to another point 30 feet away after five minutes. I love the hover these, almost all sea birds have, that freezes them in the air. (North Beach, Fort Desoto)
