(Anser indicus) The bar-headed goose is a goose that breeds in Central Asia in colonies of thousands near mountain lakes and winters in South Asia, as far south as peninsular India. The bar-headed goose is one of the world's highest-flying birds often seen at heights of over 28,000ft. The birds seen in the UK are thought to be descendants of escapees from collections and this small breeding colony of geese is well established at Grange over Sands in Cumbria.
Anhinga female
Circle B Bar Reserve, Florida
I watched this female and her prospective mate performing some coy courtship moves. I had never before seen the female with that dramatic blue around the eye. It stood out in stark contrast to the dark moody scene around her.
A sine bar consists of a hardened, precision ground body with two precision ground cylinders fixed at the ends. The distance between the centers of the cylinders is precisely controlled, and the top of the bar is parallel to a line through the centers of the two rollers. The dimension between the two rollers is chosen to be a whole number (for ease of later calculations) and forms the hypotenuse of a triangle when in use.
When a sine bar is placed on a level surface the top edge will be parallel to that surface. If one roller is raised by a known distance, usually using gauge blocks, then the top edge of the bar will be tilted by the same amount forming an angle that may be calculated by the application of the sine rule.

A pair of Turkey Vultures photographed on the Wading Bird Way Trail in the Circle B Bar Reserve located in the City Of Lakeland Polk County Florida U.S.A.
The turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) is the most widespread of the New World vultures.One of three species in the genus Cathartes of the family Cathartidae, the turkey vulture ranges from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, including subtropical forests, shrub lands, pastures, and deserts.
Like all New World vultures, it is not closely related to the Old World vultures of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The two groups strongly resemble each other because of convergent evolution; natural selection often leads to similar body plans in animals that adapt independently to similar conditions.
The turkey vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its food using its keen eyes and sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gasses produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals.[3] In flight, it uses thermals to move through the air, flapping its wings infrequently. It roosts in large community groups. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It nests in caves, hollow trees, or thickets. Each year it generally raises two chicks, which it feeds by regurgitation. It has very few natural predators.
In the United States, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.

A bracing stroll in the sun and the surf on a blustery December morning on the Northumberland coast (UK) (6957)
Distant storm clouds stayed over the mountains while I enjoyed the sand bars in the Bear Lake Outlet Canal after sundown.
This shot has been uploaded before with a different crop. I was preparing this one for print and decided I prefer this version.
