Well, either this goose was a flamingo wannabe or he was missing a leg! I sure couldnt see one tucked up anywhere anyhow. Didnt seem to bother him one way or another. Thanks for viewing & commenting!

Wow, what an interesting goose! It doesn't seem like he should be able to balance like that. The water is so smooth and beautiful! Great shot.

wow is right...hmmmm...I know I probably don't have a leg to stand on here, but either you've gotten mighty good at cloning things out or else this guy is a poster child for one-legged geese. The rocks certainly make it a "well-balanced" picture...sorry about all the puns..they just kept slipping off...I mean out..lol.. :)PJ

Sure hope he's hiding the other one somewhere Dan....or did you clone it out? ;) Wonderful clear reflections in the water and extremely well composed. Glad you shared him.

You quit playin' with your eraser and give that goose his leg back. LMAO I've seen em' like that too Dan......probably a trap or barely got away from a predator. I know one thing it's hard enough for me to balance on 2 sometimes. LOL Good one buddy, I'd say the new camera suits ya well.

Poor baby. He seems to have adapted to his situation. Life wants to go on living and for him, there's no feeling sorry for himself, he's still doing what he's used to doing only with a slight difference. Wonderful moral here. I love it!

Great shot Dan ... Really a good capture. Sure looks like the leg is missing ... what an illustration of adaptation and balance. Nice job.

I studied this a long time. I don't think the poor bird has a leg tucked up under him. Looks like it lost it. I'll never forget one time when I was delivering out on Long Island. I was backed into the dock for the next day's unload when a Mother goose came by with her brood. She had only one leg but she was doing her best to care for her babies. It was touching. Great post. Great focus.
