Description

This report summarizes the monitoring of populations and production of tundra swans on Selawik National Wildlife Refuge in 1985 as part of a longterm study. Radio telemetry was used to determine the local movements of the swans. Objectives of the study were to: determine trends in tundra swan populations and habitat use, and examine patterns of local movements to define the size of habitat areas needed by various age and geographic groups of the population. The methods used and a discussion of the results are included.
