I was quite amazed when I looked at this and saw the goose flying upside down. I guess he's not really flying upside down - but maybe got bumped by one of the others which turned him over - mid flight.
Sometimes I get really LUCKY!
I did some more research on this and found that this is called a Whiffling - you
can read more about it HERE on Wikipedia.
Isn't Nature Amazing?

wow! great catch!
ReplyDeleteDid you notice the orientation of the head? It's in its' normal position. Maybe he was just trying to get a kink of the the neck and shoulders...lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.
Hope he recovered from being flipped upside down and continued his flight safely. That's quite the maneuver!
ReplyDeletewhat a shot!!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! What timing! Maybe he just wanted to turn a flip.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing. You were at the right place at the right time.
ReplyDeleteWOW, you did get lucky to catch this! I would love to know why he was like that and I hope he flipped back over soon!
ReplyDeleteWow that is beyond cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!! You should enter this in something ~
ReplyDeleteAmazing, and to think that you were there to capture his "topsy, turvy" flight. Happy Easter. Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh! I'm sure he righted himself!
ReplyDeleteLOL! What a great shot that is! We saw one bump another and upset a whole vee one day. Now I know what it must have looked like up close! Can't believe you got this great shot! Wow.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! That's really cool.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot, Kerri. This is too cool. His head still faces normally though. Such aeronautic acrobats.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I've seen geese spin in the air, often just prior to landing.
ReplyDeleteholy cow! that is funny!! was he alright? how long did it take to right himself (of course it was a male driver haha!)? waht a great shot.... whoever doesn't think God has a sense of humor should look more closely at nature!!! thanks Kerri!
ReplyDeleteTalk about a cool capture! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, and congratulations on your POTW mention!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great timing! Wonderful shot.
