BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
09-20-2007

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 bit slower than we expected, given the migrant traffic
over the last couple days.  A hatch-year female ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD was
a first for the banding station nets (we've seen them before, but not
caught any).

And we have some photos in hand for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
