I'll Stay Put If You Will

This view - from quite a distance - tickled me - guess the turtles had their attention on the egret - they usually bail as soon as I'm within 200 ft. Funny the way they're looking at each other

[Anne Pancella]

That is surprising. When turtles hear me coming they immediately drop back into the water.

Great capture of the “stand-off”....(& we always joke about trying to sneak up on turtles, mostly unsuccessfully) :)
