Very nice video Halcyon......I live on the beach on the Florida gulf coast and see a lot of Dolphins also. We have only seen whales one time when about 20 Pilot Whales kept beaching themselves on our beach. We spent 8 hours keeping them alive with about 30 people working non-stop only to have the local authorities come out and put them to sleep. It was very sad and had most everyone that was working in tears. The excuse they gave us was that they didn't have room to take care of them in Fort Walton at the Gulfarium nor the equipment to transpot them. It is really strange how when one of them gets sick and beaches that the rest just keep beaching themselves to be with him. Nature is very strange sometimes....

Edit: On a happier note I do remember them taking a smaller one from a mile down the beach from us and saving it. It was released about three months later back in to the Gulf.
