The bar-headed goose (Anser indicus) is a large, pale grey goose famous for its ability to migrate over the Himalayan mountains, a feat that requires extraordinary physiological adaptations for high-altitude flight.
Himalayan migration: The bar-headed goose breeds in Central Asia, near high-altitude lakes in Mongolia, China, and the Tibetan Plateau, and migrates south to winter in the lowlands of India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Their journey requires them to fly over the Himalayan mountain range, often at altitudes well over 5,000 meters, which challenges even the fittest human athletes.

The current owner has painted the bars matte silver, although you can't see that very clear in this B&W. :-)
The slightly visible lamp behind these bars repeats in some way the patterns.
This Bar-Tailed Godwit did not make it from its home in Alaska to New Zealand. It stopped here in the SF Bay Area for some reason unknown to all of us. But normally each fall, migratory flocks take flight from western Alaska nonstop for over 10,000 km (6,000 miles) until they reach their nonbreeding grounds in New Zealand and Australia.
Needless to say it's a rare bird here and many birders from all over come to find it and take its photo.
Another fascinating tidbit is that they digest parts of their own organs as part of an incredible adaptation for their long, non-stop migration. They absorb up to 25% of the tissue from their liver, kidneys, and digestive tract to make room for extra fat and to reduce weight. This process, called autophagy, allows the organs to be rebuilt once the birds arrive at their destination.
This shot has been uploaded before with a different crop. I was preparing this one for print and decided I prefer this version.

Be prepared to see a lot of photos of this juvenile bar-tailed godwit over the next few days. This was my best photography experience whilst in Cornwall and probably the one where I had the most weird looks ever. I had just finished eating (a highly recommended) fish and chips in the harbour at St Ives and spotted this godwit fly in. Off I went and took hundreds of photos whilst the hundreds of tourists in St Ives watched on probably in amusement at this weird person with a big lens taking photos of a non-descript bird (from their perspective!)

Not sand bars but a fence around the sand pile that will be and is now the Ice Rink for Broken Arrows winter fun.
BAR 95 leads a dogs breakfast of flares along the Canisteo RIver at Browns Crossing, NY on January 28, 1989. You never knew what the next D&H train would have for power back then.
The schooner Margaret Todd and the Tiger Shark ... the red one sunk back a season ago as I heard. Increased the ISO here to 1250 so the shutter speed could be reduced with the slight wave action, wanted a capture in this light with the boats not moving.
