1/7 Seattle Times – Bottlenose dolphin turns up in Puget Sound
By Sandi Doughton –Seattle Times science reporter
The wayward bottlenose dolphin seen recently in Puget Sound is the region’s fourth tropical marine visitor in a year.
Another bottlenose dolphin and two Bryde’s whales, all native to warmer climes, appeared in Washington’s inland waters last year, said John Calambokidis, of Cascadia Research. The three animals perished in Puget Sound.
…Cascadia scientists confirmed the current visitor Dec. 15. The small bottlenose dolphin has been seen at locations between Seattle and Olympia, including Budd Inlet.
