Baby and Mama Racoon

On the Bay side of Sarasota's South Lido,
there is a preserve with mangroves and salt water ponds and streams.
There are pleasant paths for exercise and exploration.

Here, you are liable to see various wading birds
and even a raccoon or two.

Mama Raccoon is teaching her baby how to dig for food
in the shallow salt marsh water.
Baby plays close attention and always sticks close to Mama's side.
