This #pelican at #Passe-a-Grille in #StPetersburgh #Florida was not afraid of the beachgoers, and stood patiently by one man, hoping for a handout. Eventually, some people showed up to fish on the jetty and he left the beach to beg by the fishers. The last photo is of a pile of shells, one set of which looks vaguely like a heart. #Bird #birds #beach

A couple of fuzzy new friends I met at the #CapybaraCafé in #StPetersburgh, #Florida when I visited last month. Most folks probably have heard of capybaras before, but the other creature is a mara, a member of the cavy family, and looks like a combo between a rabbit and a guinea pig. Still going through my photos while Vermont continues to thaw. Looking forward to spring coming. #Capybara #Mara
