[obol] BANDING REPORT: Neawanna Wetland - 5/17/2008

BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
05-17-2008

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: It was a surprisingly slow morning, given the reports from
farther south.  The way too sunny whether often lowers the net
efficiency, but I didn't really see much in the way of general
movement even away from the nets.  

We saw, but did not capture a possible female ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK,
very contrasty black and white with streaked breast and faint lemon
yellow to lower belly and undertail coverts.

Also WESTERN TANAGER, plenty of BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS and SPOTTED
SANDPIPER.
