It’s not everyday you see dolphins inside Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge! These two made their way through a culvert. It reportedly has been at least 15 years since any were spotted this close to the road. (Very common off of the Sanibel beaches ) Happy feeding beautiful creatures 🐬 #wildlife #sanibel
