[cayugabirds-l] FW: tagged Swan on Armitage

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Update about the Trumpeter Swan I saw earlier in the week along Armitage Road. 
I posted about it in the Cayuga Bird Club Facebook group, so you can see the 
pics and certificate there. Even if you don't have a Facebook account, you 
should be able to follow this link and still see the photos: 
https://www.facebook.com/groups/cayugabirdclub/permalink/4551836878187425/

Here's what the certificate said:

Species:  Trumpeter Swan
Sex: male
Banded:  01/31/2021
Band number: 1959-03150 Z50
Age:Hatched in 2020 or earlier
Location: Near Burlington Ontario Canada

The last time I found a tagged Trumpeter Swan (on Mill Pond in Union Springs 
several years ago), I reported it and got the info back. I shared it then like 
I am doing now, and through Facebook I was connected with someone who works on 
that swan banding project! I shared this new tagged swan information with her 
last night and here's what she said:

These are the sighting reports for Z50 we have on file, we don't know where the 
parents nest unfortunately.
12-Mar-2021 Burlington, LaSalle Park 43.302252 -79.843554 Halton Region
13-Mar-2021 Burlington, LaSalle Park 43.302252 -79.843554 Halton Region
19-Mar-2021 Burlington, LaSalle Park 43.302252 -79.843554 Halton Region
20-Mar-2021 Burlington, LaSalle Park 43.302252 -79.843554 Halton Region
13-Nov-2021 Savannah, Armitage Rd, E of Clintons Ditch 43.022345 -76.784563 
Wayne County

He has been off the radar so to speak from March 20 when he was last reported 
in Burlington, Ontario until just a few days before you saw him. It is possible 
the parents nest down there somewhere? The cygnets will often follow the 
parents back to nest locations but the parents can also leave them behind in 
the spring and the juveniles have to find their own way around.
Nice to see he survived his first summer on his own. Hopefully he returns to 
Burlington this winter. Will have to wait and see.

The primary bander on this project suspects they are far north nester because 
they always come early and stay late. Usually birds from Northern Ontario have 
this pattern.

Such interesting information! If you missed my first post about it, scroll 
down, I included it.

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 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!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Barnacle goose spotted today?

[Jay McGowan]

It was there early this morning but reportedly flew off with other geese at
least an hour ago.

[cayugabirds-l] Barnacle goose spotted today?

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Good morning! I’m leading a tour this afternoon and would love to be able to 
show my group this awesome goose! If anyone’s seen it this morning, please let 
me know!

If anyone missed the original post by Jay McGowan, a lone barnacle goose was 
seen yesterday at the refuge visitor center pool hanging with all the Canada 
geese. And maybe a white-fronted too? Would like confirmation of that species 
too!
