BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
09-05-2007

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: There were quite a few warblers in the area early in the 
session, but none went into the net and an intermittant mist
prevailed which sort quieted everything down.  We ended up shutting
down an hour early.

A WHITE-TAILED KITE was seen eating a TOWNSEND'S VOLE near the
banding area.  We saw BLACK-THROATED GRAY and WILSON'S WARBLERS and
a RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD.  Also heard a SWAINSON'S THRUSH.
