The remarkable migration of Bar-Headed Geese

Posted under birds (general) & science

The New York Times has a short article (free registration required) about the migration of Bar-Headed Geese between Mongolia and southern India, a distance of 3000 miles.  That’s not remotely close to the distance record for a migration, but there is still something special about this particular migration: according to the article, “bar-headed geese hold the altitude record for birds,” [a researcher] said. “They migrate over the Himalayas, at 30,000 feet. That’s the height of jumbo jets.”
