tongues

tongues

Have you ever seen a photo of geese with their tongues sticking out before?

I was photographing the geese and four or five goslings. The adults noticed me, but I didn't come too close and they didn't seem to mind. Then suddenly they were hissing and sticking their tongues out. I hadn't moved at all so I was confused why they were suddenly upset until I noticed the young raccoon that just appeared from behind a tree. The raccoon seemed intimidated and it hurried off across a log over the stream.
