Pelicans, Dolphins & Manatees It’s always a thrill to spot a dolphin or a manatee. Take a dolphin boat tour or simply stroll along the downtown waterfront and you’re likely to see dolphins feeding or playing in the Bay. Manatees are more reclusive and generally found in either shallow canals or the Intracoastal from April to October. Tropical birds, from pelicans, egrets and Sandhill cranes to wild parrots are abundant.
