mutant goose

[Leonard-just-Leonard]

<p>This is so weird. the one goose in front looks like it has another leg growing out of its head.</p>

<p>I know it does not since I took many, many pictures of these 5 gosslings and none were deformed.</p>

<p>what would cause such a strange image? looks like some of the water waves got saved wrong</p>

<p>I can upload the original sized image with the EXIF data so you can see I did not tamper with the original</p><div></div>

<p>Maybe floating vegetation got stuck on its head from feeding? </p>

<p>I like the vegetation idea. There's all kinds of stuff floating on the water. These birds also travel through undergrowth and small leaves or flowers can dislodge. Nature is messy sometimes.</p>

May an insect like a dragon fly passing between you and subject or some other wind driven artifact that appears to be

growing out of head. Looking at reflection I water for some clue.

[MichaelChang]

<p>Great observation, Donald. It looks more probable than vegetation. </p>

[Sandy Vongries]

<p>Based on the object profile, I think Donald hit the nail on the head.</p>

<p>Donald's explanation also works for me.</p>
