Additional details for previous sighting 4486309 to help with identification. The first image shows an adult that was swimming behind a calf. There is obvious fluke damage to the adult. The second image shows two adults with the calf in front and between them. The third image shows dorsal fin damage. The fourth image shows the calf in front of an adult that has a significant scar along its side. The final image shows the dolphins heading out of the channel. Assumed to be Bottlenosed dolphins from the images, but not sure. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.
