BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
2000/02/19

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.

Winter sparrow efforts will place special emphasis on identifying
FOX SPARROWS, SONG SPARROWS and WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS to
subspecies. Subspecies discussions can be found at:

Notes: Nets were up by 0915hr. It was a bright and sunny
morning with a light S wind temperatures that quickly rose into
to the low 50's. The most interesting news is in the recapture
of SONG SPARROW 1441-78155 first banded on 06/12/1999 in breeding
condition. This connects a breeding individual to the wintering
population at this site.
