While the St. Patrick’s Day parade rolled up Fifth Avenue on Sat­ur­day, a scene unfolded in the East River that might have been more com­mon in the eigh­teenth cen­tury; canoeists met a dol­phin in a gen­tle snowfall. T Willis Elkins shot the footage on Sat­ur­day: “I pad­dled out with fel­low mem­bers of the North Brook­lyn Boat Club in snowy and foggy con­di­tions to try and find the recently sighted dol­phin in the East River. And we did!”
