Title: Neck collared Tundra swans
Post by: full choke on June 04, 2011, 07:01:30 PM

Here are a few recent pictures of neck collared Tundra swans up here in Alaska. Though I haven't heard back from the woman in charge of the studies just yet, fairly certain these are all banded locally here in the King Salmon area. A couple of these are the same swan, and the last was different. I think I am up to nine different collars sighted and reported and too many multiple sightings to count. Anyways, always neat to see...

Great stuff!  Thanks for sharing.

I'd love to have some neck banded waterfowl down here to photograph.
