First one nominated for POTM.
I think you're already a winner for helping to get them back to deeper water.

Thanks appreciate it

Okay, so I'm not the mushy type person but even I can see in that first shot that the animal is crying. Nice capture and thanks for helping them out.

Thanks. Yup tears a flowing

@MSnowy Imagine my surprise while sitting here scrolling though this and watching the local news on Fox, when a special report comes on about the dolphin rescue, complete with video. Tried to see if you were in any of them but it was moving to fast over the crowd.

Ha Ha I was trying to hide from the Boston Fox cameraman

Great shots and thank you for helping the dolphins. Must have been like trying to move a house.

Thanks. These dolphins aren't that big I thinks they said a little over 200 pounds

Glad to hear that you were able to help out - I can imagine that if they got in trouble over the mud, that it was also t tricky to safely get out to access them as they appear quite far out and mudflats can either be shallow or rather deep!

I have to second the view that that very fist photo is the kind that really is one of a kind in getting that teardrop from the ear. It's the kind that likely can actually either be donated or sold to organisations and would see a lot of use I would imagine.

As for how another reason proposed is sonar from man-made sources. Although whales get more attention from this; dolphins also use echo location so it has been proposed that they suffer damage or get confused by the super-loud sonar we use.

That first image is incredible, so glad they were helped. See so many stories of morons pulling stranded dolphins to shore so the can take selfies with them killing the dolphin in the process.

The first photo is such a touching image. I just don't understand how anyone with a heart could not do everything in their power to help a beautiful creature survive.

Thanks. The thing I found out when I was there, is that the dolphins are federally protected. This means that licensed organization are the only ones that can help. The situation actual got a little tense when people tried to help on their own. They actual had law enforcement on scene to keep people out of the water until the scientist arrived. Their explanation was that these strandings usually involve sick animals.
