BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
05-01-2008

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: It was a good day to band birds.  We saw a big movement of
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS and the front end of the WILSON'S WARBLER
migration.  I'll be posting some in-hand photos after my nap...
