OT: Bar-headed goose. Wasn't the other picture of a bar-headed goose in flight? It would be neat to have a photo of one at 30,000 feet, and especially video footage to showing them in flight over the himalayas. Still, you did find a nice specimen of a strong looking goose! A goose hunter might agree with you too -- not LOL!
How about this picture of a pair of these geese below?
i think they should all be tested for epo and this one is quite big so you may want to test him for the cream and the clear. if this is the same goose from the previous pics, his head sure has grown in the past few years.
no way he could climb everest at his age without a little "help"
