Bittern Seen Tuesday Afernoon
No Bittern or Redhead at Celery Farm Yet Today

Snapping Turtle Jubilee

That baby Snapping Turtle I found near the Celery Farm the other week got me to thinking about other Snapping Turtles I have seen there.

My favorite, in a perverse way, is a shot of a baby Snapping Turtle about to be eaten by a young Red-shouldered Hawk.Snapping Turtles are notorious predators, so it was kind of cool to see one as prey. (You live by the sword, you die by the sword.)

Here are a few others, including the shot below of a small Snapping Turtle that I put on the back of a huge snapping turtlle for size comparison:
