Wind Your Neck In...



Canada Geese are a fairly common sight on lakes and ponds, and for that reason we probably take them somewhat for granted and don't pay them much attention but they are really quite beautiful.

I was watching this one preening and I marvelled at how flexible its neck is.

As humans we have 7 vertebrae in our necks, the same number as Giraffe but geese have between 17 and 23 and that is why they can twist and turn so much.
