Just a few dolphins heading down the Intracoastal Waterway to find calmer waters before the storms!

Dolphins and other sea creatures are very good at sensing changes in atmospheric pressure. When storms are coming and pressures change, they will instinctively swim to deeper waters where the rain and wind will not reach them.

Turn the volume up to hear the melody of the low tide at sunrise!

From oysters squirting water into the air as the tide falls, to pistol shrimp popping, to all types of fish splashing, to the calls of Herons and Egrets as they fly from their rookeries… IOP is the place to witness the magic of the low tide and the peacefulness of the sun rise.

All smiles from our 10am Paddle Board Tour this morning!! ☀️

Can you spot the Snowy Egret?

Snowy Egrets are a little bit smaller than the Great Egret and have a black beak, black legs, and bright yellow feet.

While feeding in these shallow marsh areas, especially at low tide, they will use one foot to stir up the mud and flush out prey, like Fiddler Crabs or Snails, before snatching them with their beak.

07/17/2021

Getting all geared up for the 9am Kayak Tour today!

During our 20-minute on land prep we’ve already seen an Osprey flying with nest material, Bonnethead sharks feeding on Fiddler Crabs, and over 10 Snowy Egrets wading along the Pluff Mud.
