Description
In this Florida pond, the green heron (Butorides virescens) and the turtle have suddenly caught sight of one another, and the eye contact is established and held. The heron perches atop the trunk of a downed tree, and the turtle approaches in the water with its head above the waterline. They seem fascinated by one another, although we could be sure the species are not strangers to one another.I believe that this is a Florida cooter turtle,(Pseudemys floridana), but if any of you visitors has a different identification, I'd be very happy to hear that.
