Observation details

Including two exhibiting a behavior I’ve never seen before: following our kayaks around for an extended period, repeatedly diving immediately next to and under our boats, seemingly looking for small fish we might kick up up while paddling over the grass flats. Only saw one successful catch, but I can’t think of another explanation.
