BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
05-22-2007

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: The day was overcast with a variable wind from the west.
I expected YELLOW WARBLERS and SWAINSON'S THRUSHES and was not
disappointed.  Birds seen, but not captured included a pair of
GREAT EGRETS roosting in the trees behind the SE pond, a GREEN
HERON, SPOTTED SANDPIPERS and lots of RED CROSBILLS.
