Common Snapping Turtle Eyeball to Eyeball

Common Snapping Turtle Eyeball to Eyeball  In this time of year the female Common Snapping Turtles are looking for a place to lay eggs.  This one was moving through the cut grass along my walkabout route.  Of course, I was not really close enough to be eyeball to eyeball.  Remember the 300mm lens times 2.7 crop factor yields 810mm.  So, I was not disturbing the critter.
