Birders,
One of the adult Tundra Swans that has been at Baseline Reservoir (Boulder Co.) for a while has a blue neck band inscribed with a U856. I sent in the info to the USGS and here are the results:
Male banded as an adult (born 2008 or earlier) on 7/27/2010 15 miles North of Buckland, Northwest Arctic Borough, Alaska. (Lat: 66.19694; Lon: -161.155). That's about 2800 miles as the swan flies.
No wonder they're so tired.
