While out biking, I passed these Snapping Turtles, as big as manhole covers and covered in green duck weed. Snapping Turtles eat fish, anything dead in the water, and this time of year they will predate on baby ducks. This female Wood Duck has just one chick left out of what might have been a dozen at hatching. Fox, raccoon, possums, turtles, coyotes, and even large catfish, will dine on duck chicks of every type.
