A new breed of snowbird?
HOBE SOUND, FL — Scientists late Friday were still trying to figure out how to capture the first bearded seal spotted in Florida - an arctic animal that spent the day floating in the marina of a gated community along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Interesting comparison:
“It was like eating peanuts: You couldn’t leave,” said Joan Smith, one of the many residents who spent the day snapping photos or watching the animal through binoculars.
