Rose's daughter came to me, about 2 1/2 hours ago, breathlessly
announcing that there were two unusual geese down at Maggs Park.
Naturally, Telyt in hand, I had to investigate... and they turned out
to be Bar Headed Geese.
At first I thought that meant they came from Barhead, Alberta, but I
discovered that they are native to Central Asia, flying over the
Himalayas to winter in India & Burma. How they came to be in Logan
Lake is a mystery to me!
They're nasty fellas, though... If the normally tough Canada Geese,
with whom they're hanging out, get too close, the Bar Heads nip at
the Canuck Honkers and the Canada Geese jump right out of their way!
My first decent shot is shown here... though the highlights are blown
in the .jpg, they are not so in the .tif and .dng files. I'll try to
do better, when I have more time, tomorrow. I may add one or two
more shots, at that time, as well.

Comments, good or bad, appreciated, as always.
Cheers!
