BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
08-28-2007

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: It was clear and warm for today's banding.  I drove to Seaside
while the moon was coming out of last night's eclispe (even still orange 
when I got up at 04:00).  

The capture rate was steady all morning with almost all captures being
hatch-years and most probably local.  I saw a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, as
well as a very few likely migrant ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS.  I also saw
a small "finch" that sounded like a LAZULI BUNTING as it few over the
station.
