Piping Plover with six legs! Actually, the adult is sheltering, or brooding, two young chicks, which is quite common behavior; I've photographed as many as three being sheltered. The image is from Massachusetts Audubon's Allen's Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Westport MA.

The second of the two "Naturally Funny" shots:  Piping Plover with six legs! Actually, the adult is sheltering two young chicks, which is quite common behavior; I've photographed as many as three chicks being sheltered. The image is from Mass Audubon's Allen's Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Westport MA.  

The winning captions were:  "No officer, I've got nothing to hide;"   "Next time, I'm laying these eggs before they hatch;"  "Nothing beats a great set of legs."
