A local fisherman spotted a group of dolphins near Clinton and caught the encounter on video.
CLINTON, CT —A local fisherman was greeted by some unusual visitors when he took his boat out Tuesday morning. In a video shared with Fox 61, boater Pat Burke caught a few dolphins on video swimming near Clinton Harbor.
"Lots of dolphins in the Long Island Sound this morning, huh?" Burke said in the video.
According to the Connecticut Post, dolphins were spotted in the sound off the coast of Greenwich in 2015. That same year, a humpback whale was seen breaching off the coast in Milford.
