This is not a project of NYSOA. This information
is provided for New York birders who may encounter marked swans.
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 contacts are:
