BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
05-07-2008

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: The weather was not as nice as we had hoped, a steady 
breeze from the northwest probably dropped the efficiency of the
nets.  Among the birds seen, but captured were WESTERN WOOD PEWEE 
and OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER.
