I came upon this Great Egret that had captured a Softshell Turtle at the Viera Wetlands.

Turtles are incredibly hard to kill; I'd hate to think of what one could do to the insides of an egret. Quite the series, though.

Great shots!
I'm continually amazed at what Egrets and GB Herons will eat!

Beautiful shots all. Very good exposure.

Great series. I especially like the 5th one. The turtle looks like he's looking right at you asking for a little assistance!

Is it quite busy now at Viera? I wasn't sure when the migration starts and when it peaks. I'd like to make another trip down there soon.
