Garvin lake unusual creature(s): Thought is possibly two very large snapping turtles mating or boarding one another. The duck like things you saw possibly were their heads extending high. Other than that the only other thing I can think of would be an old story of a pike which had the claws of an eagle who attempted to grab it lodged near its head because the eagle was unsuccessful and drowned. That would a stretch. I think.
Interesting theories. I believe it may have been a turtle or turtles with a branch somehow connected, or possibly some other animal that had gotten itself tangled in the weeds. It was certainly very odd!
