BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
04-11-2008

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: Finally a weather window!  Mostly hummingbirds in the nets,
observed species include BAND-TAILED PIGEONS, ORANGE-CROWNED, MYRTLE
and TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT

We also got a quick look at two herons that were probably BLACK-CROWNED
NIGHT-HERONS flying by.
