Title: Trumpeter Swans
Post by: Stephanie on December 20, 2010, 01:21:50 PM

I found two Trumpeter Swans at Bronte harbour this weekend and one was tagged (#906). I've never found a tagged bird before, so is there someone I should contact about the sighting?

Hi Stephanie,

Here is the site for Wye Marsh. Most of the Trumpeters we see were banded there.

Also, here's a site for reporting bird bands.

Hope this helps.
