Julia Comes Home.

Julia Comes Home. (Cygnus columbianus)

"Julia" is a Tundra Swan banded (Collared) in Alaska in 2012. I first photographed her in 2012, and several times since then. The people around here often feed the swans, so I know where to look for her each year. We figure she's traveled over 100,000 miles. It's a treat to find her each year.

That's a gorgeous picture you've taken of this magnificent swan Hugh. I always think it's lovely to be able to recognise an individual bird over the years!

Many thanks for showing her to us lad.

May I wish you and your family a merry Christmas.
