Nope! It's not Jaws!
Just a couple of dolphins feeding right off the beach this a.m..
I hadn't been seeing them earlier this season. Probably because the water was so cold, whatever they're feeding on wasn't running near the shoreline like usual.
It's nice to see them back out there.

Science Camp – Week One:
We started off our Summer Camp season with our Science Summer Camp for girls. What a great week of learning and fun experiments! With our fearless leader, Jennifer Stimpson, teaching for our Science Camp we had a blast.
The girls had an opportunity to learn about the periodic table and conduct experiments that helped reinforce what they were learning. The campers also learned about four Scientists in our “Mystery Scientist” challenge in which they were given clues to figure out who their scientist’s were. After finding their mystery scientist, each team created a skit to teach others about their scientist, which they presented on Friday for museum staff and parents. The campers also had the opportunity to make homemade Shea butter lotion, the differences in penny materials, see an IMAX film about prehistoric sea creatures, tour the museum, and much more...
