BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
09-22-2006

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 fairly good migrant day today which we managed to 
reflect in the capture data.  We also the first GOLDEN-CROWNED
SPARROWS and both COOPER'S and SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS.  The Sharpie
spent about 10 minutes playing tag with a group of 6 STELLER'S
JAYS in a big spruce snag.  Among this week's in-hand pictures 
are a PRAYING MANTIS and a LORQUIN'S ADMIRAL.
