The Duckbill Rock Formation

Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area is located in Oregon, for those who haven't heard of it before. It's a pristine example of American land before settlement, totally untouched by development. There used to be one special site there that brought in tourists more than any other. This is the duckbill rock formation. If you look closely, it looks very much like a duck. How did this accident of nature happen?

We can't say for sure. It seems like a one in a gazillion event. Unfortunately, a group of vandals intentionally demolished the stone bird in 2016. Isn't that a shame? We curse them, whoever they are!
