I watched this Green Heron fly away from an area where a snapping turtle showed up. I think the heron learned about snapping turtles the hard way. Look at its right foot. The heron seemed to manage perfectly fine with walking on the stump of a foot.

This is a Tibbetts Brook Park Green Heron and is not a parent of the fuzzy heron I posted earlier. That heron is from Van Cortlandt Park.
