BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
04-17-2008

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: We only managed 2 hours before the drizzle moved in and shut
us down.  So much for trusting weather reports.

Lots of ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER movement, probably would have done
quite well, if the weather had cooperated.  Quite a few BROWN-HEADED
COWBIRDS around as well.
