BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
05-31-2008

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 caught the first hatch-year RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD of the
season, right on time.  Good movements of YELLOW WARBLERS and
SWAINSON'S THRUSHES still, but 36% of our catch was CEDAR WAXWINGS
in for the now ripe TWINBERRIES and blossuming CRABAPPLES.
