Baby turtles are on the menu for the Heron but these have nothing to fear.

Nice ones. Shot at a golf course pond? I've seen turtles like that on a golf course.

Beautiful. FYI. The range of the Midland P.T. and the western P.T. overlap in Illinois. These look to be hybrids between the two. Size and mixed color pattern without a continuous band of red on carapace are my cues. Not uncommon for this to happen.
