BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
10-05-2006

Method: Up to eight 9m mist nets are placed in mixed Oregon
Crabapple/Twinberry/Spruce along the the upper Neawanna River,
Seaside, Clatsop Co. OR.  Captured birds are measured, ringed 
with USBBL numbered metal bands and released.  Data on time of
capture and side of net captured are also recorded to gain
an understanding of movements through the area.

Notes: We had a very good day today even if one substracts the 12
BUSHTITS that David Bailey insisted on steering toward the net (the
full flock was well over 30).  Notables today include the season's
first HERMIT THRUSH and a MYRTLE WARBLER.  There was actually a mob
of YELLOW-RUMPS along with TOWNSEND'S and probably BLACK-THROATED
GRAY WARBLERS. We also heard VARIED THRUSH.  We caught three SPOTTED
TOWHEES plus a net bounce and heard at least two others from an
obvious movement.
