Yesterday I found a wing-tagged Trumpeter swan in the flooded field, south side of Armitage. I've seen this kind of tag before: yellow with black block characters. This one is "Z50". I reported it via the federal website The North American Bird Banding Program<https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/BBL/bblretrv/> and now I wait to find out more info! I'll post pics in the Cayuga Bird Club FB group.
If you are unfamiliar with this process, anyone who recovers or who can read all the characters on the tag/band, can report it! It's a fun way to give back some important information and learn something as well. I'll update when I find out more about Swan Z50! -- Alyssa Johnson Environmental Educator 315.365.3588 Montezuma Audubon Center PO Box 187 2295 State Route 89 Savannah, NY 13146 Montezuma.audubon.org Pronouns: She, Her, Hers -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
