[Tweeters] Banded Tundra Swans at Ridgefield, Nov 27

[Mary Reese]

We reported the three banded TUNDRA (Whistling) SWANS that we saw from the blind 
at Ridgefield on Nov 27.  P911, P912, and P914 seemed to be a bonded trio, 
always swimming together.  We heard back from the USGS after only about one day.

The information on the banding Certificate of Appreciation was this:

 Just thought you'd all like to know some of their history, in case you spot 
them in Rest Lake.  Fun stuff, huh? :-)
