A brown pelican moves out of the way as Atlantic bottlenose dolphins come ashore to feed on fish they corralled onto the beach during stand feeding at Captain Sam's Inlet September 3, 2014 in Kiawah Island, SC. This unusual practice involves a group of dolphins herding a school of fish onto the beach and then launching their bodies out of the water and onto the shore to feed and is only found in a few places on earth.
