1/27/08
As part of an effort to learn more about the
timing of migration and movements relative to breeding
areas, 315 Tundra Swans were captured and marked on
their breeding grounds in Alaska in 2007. The swans
were marked with blue collars with 4 white
alphanumerics or white collars with 4 black
alphanumerics. Codes are read from bottom to top.
Marking locations included the Yukon Delta (100);
Alaska Peninsula, North, (52); Alaska Peninsula (63);
Koyukuk Drainage (10) and Kotzebue Sound (90).

Eastern Tundra Swan Project Last
updated 11/2/01
The Atlantic Flyway is involved in a movement study of
eastern tundra swans. During the winters of 2000-01 and 2001-02, biologists
in Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are putting
radio transmitters and satellite transmitters on eastern tundra swans.
These transmitters are attached to white neck collars. If any of these
transmitters are found or reported to you, would you please contact:

As a part of this study, gray
neck collars with black lettering (no transmitters)
have been placed on birds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. If
you see any of these neck collars, please forward all verified
sightings to the state biologist in or nearest your state. These
