     And I'm Audie Cornish. For centuries, dolphins have been
found stranded along the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This
winter is no different with almost 150 stranded and 38
successful releases. What is different this time is how long
this latest event has been going on, almost a month now. No one
knows exactly why these animals come ashore, but when they do,
teams of rescuers mobilize to save them.  Brian Morris from
member station WCAI has this report.  BRIAN MORRIS, BYLINE:
Misty Niemeyer leads a team of volunteers down a beach on Cape
Cod Bay. A six-foot black common dolphin is lying in the sand.
The animal is one of four that were spotted earlier in the
morning. The volunteers gently secure the dolphin inside a
harness, then hoist it onto a large beach cart with oversized
wheels.  MISTY NIEMEYER: Down another six inches or so. One,
two, three.  MORRIS: Seagulls have pecked at the dolphin's eyes,
which are bloodied, but other than that, says Niemeyer, the
dolphins found this morning seem healthy.
