On Friday, a confused dolphin swam into the shallow waters of Bolsa Chica Wetlands. The Dolphin has been there since. Fish and Game went out to make sure it was not in distress along with two California State Lifeguards who were in the water with it, trying to encourage it to swim out of the wetlands. The photo below is of my daughter who was is a California State Lifeguard.

For more information about that, please view this article and photos, the Californa State Lifeguards attempting to help this Dolphin..
Apparently on Saturday, the dolphin swam into Huntington Harbor in Huntington Beach only to somehow get spooked and then it swam back into the wetlands. In the wetlands, it is shallow, and of course the tide goes up and down.
Hope this Dolphin will swim out and find it’s pod to move on. It is beautiful to see, but at the same time, everyone is wishing that the Dolphin makes it back to safety with it’s pod.
