HEMATERA FAI

FRIENDLY ENCOUNTER

 

During the past ten days of swimming, about 15 minutes of swimming from the beach, I have been approached by this male eagle ray. Usually, There is a smaller female following behind. I am convinced they sense our presence and come to us and check us out. Cheers.

Shallow Depressions

 

These three depressions, approximately 3 feet across are the result of the pink whip ray foraging in the sand for food. Cheers.
