I’m not a marine biologist, but I feel like one when I read these shoots.
Illustration of a Southern resident orca wearing a dead salmon as a snazzy hat. There is a text overlay reading trend watch: Are salmon hats back in?
Are salmon hats back?

Everyday is like a NatGeo doc in Coral City and yesterday we were privileged to observe a school of jacks hitting a baitball of pilchards around the Cam for more than 15 mins straight! It’s a sign of good fishery health in Biscayne Bay and Miami!! #coralcitycamera #miami
