One of the unique and exciting aspects of the current swan research is the swan migration tracking. Through satellite tracking, we hope to determine if there are key nesting areas and migratory pathways and if there appear to be any differences in the range and movement of swans wintering in North Carolina in comparison to swans wintering in other Atlantic Coast states.

The map below shows the general range of the Eastern Population of tundra swans. See how this compares to movements of swans marked in North Carolina in 2001 and 2002. Click on the links below to view migration maps for each of the swans below.

Note: This phase of the Atlantic Flyway Tundra Swan Research is now complete, therefore there will be no future updates to the swan migration maps.
