Not So Sylvan

Floating in Sylvan Water, a dead Northern Yellow-shafted Flicker. (I don’t know the story before this.)

Also nearby in Sylvan Water, a heavy cruiser of a Snapping Turtle. Would the twain meet?

Yes. (You wait long enough by the edge of the water…)

The turtle gobbled up the breast

then took a short break

before tackling the rest.

And it was all the rest. Down to the last tips of the primaries, which disappeared into that thick neck.
