Where can I find photos & info about Anser bernicla (Barnacle Goose)? I thought it was just a mythical animal, but apparently the Barnacle Goose is real! O.o (btw I already checked wikipedia & it's not there).

The Barnacle Goose of mythology as a bird which is born from barnacle trees that grow along the coast. The chicks hatch out of the mussel-like shells feets first into the sea. "Eyewitness accounts claim to see them emerge from shells". This is all I know about these birds.

A Barnacle Goose is a waterfowl native to northern Europe and Greenland. It breeds in the Arctic and has a white face with a black streak between the eyes and bill.
It is not a Myth.
