What a treat to sit on the sea wall and witness this pod of Pacific White Sided Dolphins teach their young how to hunt in the shallows. Watching them at eye level really pulls you into their world. This individual broke briefly above the surface of the water to breathe. There is just something about their eyes that communicate gentleness and kindness.
