BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
05-30-2007

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 a bright and sunny day.  The banding was slow, however.
We caught the first hatch-year RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRDS and SONG SPARROWS
of the season today.  The proportion of re-caps to new birds suggests
that we're moving from migrants to summer residents...
