TUNDRA SWANS WITH BLUE
NECK BANDS FROM ALASKA 
			
TUNDRA SWANS WERE MARKED IN WESTERN AND NORTHERN ALASKA IN THE SUMMER OF
2006 WITH CODED NECK BANDS AS PART OF AN EFFORT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
TIMING OF MIGRATION AND MOVEMENTS RELATIVE TO BREEDING AREA. NECK BANDS HAVE
A FOUR-DIGIT CODE THAT BEGINS WITH A LETTER, AND ARE READ FROM BOTTOM TO
TOP.  BANDS ARE BLUE WITH WHITE DIGITS, EXCEPT CODES T3##, WHICH ARE WHITE
WITH BLACK DIGITS.
