Hey, Little Green Heron, I don't know if I would stalk that prey!

This little Green Heron seems to be stalking a Pond Turtle on a log, as if it were prey. In truth, I think it was really trying to chase it away, because the turtle left and the heron took over the log. Just some fun that goes on at Delta Ponds. Also, something in this photo tickles my fancy. Can you tell what it is? :)

A very nice image. Doubt the Heron would take on anything that large.
