there's a volunteer from the marine mammal center taking a look and he doesn't think that the dolphin is still here. he's been walking the mile and a half trail that goes around this area and says that the dolphin should be easy to see. they had experts watching it yesterday. want to show you some video. it was coming up for air every 30-60 seconds. so people walking the trail and people who came out to see the dolphin says it was easy to s pot. he hasn't seen it and thinks it may have gone back into the bay. >> i got up at 5:30 this morning to check on the dolphin. we're not sure why he was here. he seemed pretty happy y esterday. but we wanted to make sure nothing weird happened o vernight. the animal appears to have left. i don't see him. we'll keep monitoring the

situation all day. if anyone does see him and call it in, we'll come back out. >> reporter: back here live this morning. why would the dolphin have left? they're not sure why the dolphin came in the first place. it hit low tide about 3:00 this morning and maybe that was enough to convince the dolphin to head back to the deeper w aters in the bay. he's convinced at this point the dolphin is not there, we'll keen an eye on things. if it reappears they'll come back out. just about an hour and a half from now, joe biden will be speaking at the naacp convention in houston. the republican candidate mitt romney was there and he was b ooed during his speech at the convention when he said he
