Bar-headed geese have a breeding range that stretches from Mongolia south through Russia and Western China to Tibet, and 25% of the global population winter on the southern Tibetan-Qinghai Plateau. They use freshwater marshes, lakes, and streams that are around elevations of 4,000 to 6,000 meters above sea level as stop-over and over-wintering sites (animaldiversity.org).
