BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
09-27-2007

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.

total captures                    	10

birds/(net*hour)                  	0.4
diversity/(net*hour)              	0.1

Notes: It was slow and decidedly fall-like today and the capture
statistics back that up.  When we catch towhees or this many
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS it's a good indicator that the summer's over.
