Last spring I reported that I saw a banded Trumpeter swan. The website (www.reportband.gov) took my personal information and thanked me. I didn’t expect to hear any more on the subject.
However, yesterday I received this happy note from the USGS and Canadian Wildlife Service:
I was particularly pleased to see that they included a little bit of information on the bird I saw.

How cool is that!
I saw snow goose at Cabela’s in Mitchell 2 years ago, couldn’t read #, reported it on SD birds listserv. One of my internet birder friends found it, was able to report. We discovered our goose had been banded way up in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Fun to find out where the creature had started out and traveled to.
Congratulations! Pa was impressed!
