Tommy Turtle Works Security For Young Herons

I decided to brave my way through a tick infested foliage forest to see how the herons were doing. On my way down the main trail I ran into Tom the turtle who snapped at me. he wanted to know where I was going and what was my intent? I told him that I just wanted to snap a couple of photos and that I had no bad intentions. I showed him my camera and he let me pass through.

I saw one Great Blue Heron out on the hunt. Not only was it hunting for its own lunch but perhaps for the family too?

Notice how the young herons prefer to style their hair differently. They have a sort of flat-top mowhawk style. Anyway, all seemed to be going well in the land of the herons!
