Dolphins in the Sound

A couple of guys fishing in the middle of Long Island Sound found themselves being followed by a pod of dolphins not long ago. A fellow who calls himself Captain Morgan, and who writes a fishing column for the Shore Publishing chain, says dolphins are far less rare in the Sound than they used to be:

For the past few years, isolated sightings of mature dolphins, sometimes in the presence of younger ones, have occurred. But now, like in the early days, these large schools have re-emerged, most likely branching off to feed on schools of herring entering a much cleaner and unobstructed Sound.
