BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
04-03-2007

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 pretty good opening day for bird banding with good
diversity and nice mix of new birds plus recaptures.  Observed, but
not captured species of note include YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, BROWN
CREEPER, LINCOLN'S SPARROW and FOX SPARROW.
