Great sequence Morris, so, did he get his snack after all that?

I remember when the Fonz jumped the shark, but now we have the Heron jumping the turtle. Fun times!

Thank you Eric,

Yes he got a little fish that you can see hanging from his mouth in the next to the last image

I kinda thought that was it but wasn't sure if it was a fish shaped duckweed.

Thank you Juan,

As a photo I agree. I had very tough lighting conditions and would have walked away except for what was happenng.

Thank you Dave,

I was surprised to see the heron respect the turtle and not walk on it.
