Folks, earlier this year, members observed Trumpeter swans in a pond just north of Harrisburg. One was banded, but the bands were difficult to read. After many photos and adjustments, I got the numbers and sent them to the USGS. Today we got the results. The bird was banded near Summer Lake, Oregon, in 2021. Other information is on the attached certificate. I encourage folks who see a banded bird to get the numbers using binoculars or photos and send them in.
