BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
09-13-2007

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.

diversity/(net*hour)              	0.3

Notes: Even if I subtract the 17 BUSHTITS from the total it was a
pretty good day.  The actual count was 21 Bushtits in the net at
once, but I fumbled a few.  We also had a pretty fair movement of
COMMON YELLOWTHROATS.

Among the seen, but not counted was a hatch-year male BLACK-HEADED
GROSBEAK juiced up on hormones and trying to sing.

Visitors today included Matt Hunter and family.
