photoartflightMallard Family Meets Snapping Turtle
This family of Mallard ducks were swimming past me this morning, heading towards the glare in the water from the rising sun. As they got off to one side, it seemed like the mother Mallard swam into a Large snapping turtle and quickly jumped upwards, spraying water all around. We saw a large number of quite large snapping turtles all around us in the water. Luckily they escaped and swam on, at least for now.
