Long Island Sound Dolphins

NYC is buzzing over the recent arrival of Bottlenose dolphins in the Long Island Sound:

From LoHud.com:

NEW ROCHELLE - Hundreds of dolphins have been swimming together in Long Island Sound, leaving witnesses in awe of the unusual occurrence.

"It was the most incredible sight I've ever witnessed on Long Island Sound," said John Knight, owner of Hudson Park Bait and Tackle near the city's marina. "You had to see this. I'm still speechless."

Knight was on a boat Saturday morning on the Sound when he saw hundreds of dolphins in the area for hours. He said the experience made him feel like legendary oceanographer Jacques Cousteau.

From Newsday:

It appears the dolphins sighted last week on the North Shore have no plans to leave just yet.

But the group of about 150 to 200 dolphins first spotted Wednesday in Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington and Northport has now split into two groups. One group headed for City Island in the Bronx while the others were seen in the Long Island Sound near Bayville.
