The Turtle and the Black Crowned Night Heron at the Sunnyvale Baylands

This was a rather humorous scene as the Heron seemed very concerned about the
slowly advancing turtle.

Anyway, it was a productive morning at the lagoon I saw a pair of Coot Chicks,
a singing Marsh Wren and this nesting Pied-Billed Grieb

Will have to go back soon to see the young ones.

So just exactly how scarey is a turtle? Maybe he was going to enjoy a breakfast of eggs! Great catch ... :)

They look extremely wary of each other-great shots both of them.

Pleasing light you had this morning. I love the way the bird's head is slightly tilted - looks like she and the turtle are having an earnest conversation...

It looks like a standoff. This is a super capture. I'd enter this into a Photo of the Day contest if you're into that kind of thing.
