Banding Report for Ft Stevens Banding Station

Method: Up to six 9m mist nets are placed in perpendicular
sets in willow wetland habitat near the South Jetty of the
Columbia River. 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: SWAINSON'S THRUSHES were quite nearly dropping out
of the sky this morning. They could be heard in the area
throughout the morning and all four captures (and a fifth
that escaped) were at the same time and at the same net.
At least one VARIED THRUSH was at the station as were many
RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES and a single RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET.
