	Dauphin Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dauphin Island is a barrier island on the western edge of Mobile Bay.
		Dauphin Island is the first landfall encountered by many birds as they migrate north from South America, and as a consequence many species can be found resting there before continuing their journey.
		A bridge connecting the island to the mainland across Dauphin Island Sound was built in the 1950s; it was destroyed by Hurricane Frederic on September 12, 1979; the community received $32 million to rebuild the bridge, in spite of warnings from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, because it would encourage development.
