Who is 30N?

The yellow neck band with black lettering is the type of tag used for Wisconsin Trumpeter Swans.
Some photographers will refuse to photograph a banded bird or animal. However, I found this swan beautiful; even with the yellow neck band.
The banding also made me wonder about his personal history. Some researcher in Wisconsin knows.

Nice shot Liz. If you send a copy to bandreports@patuxent.usgs.gov they should send you a certificate with the history of the bird as per my posting last year athttp://www.pbase.com/hankvv/image/134151269

Beautiful and I wonder if it a good thing to band the beautiful wildlife?
