Kona remains near the mouth of the bay, while the other three dolphins have moved deeper inside the bay. Nahuel's movements have been paralleling those of the Kure/Tunken pair recently, rather than remaining with Kona.

Kure and Tunken remain as a tight pair, while Nahuel seems to be ranging widely, not spending much time with Kona. It will be very interesting to determine from genetics if these males are older sons of the females, and if we might be documenting the period of separation.

The dolphins remain in Bahia San Blas. Pairings were a bit more difficult to discern over the past 24 hours. Nahuel followed a very similar pattern to the day before, moving deep into the bay at about the same time of day.
