Method: Up to ten 9m mist nets are placed in mixed Oregon
Crabapple/Twinberry/Spruce along the the upper Neawanna River,

NOTES: The first hatch year (HY) SONG SPARROW was caught (twice)
today. This is probably the earliest verifiable date for fledging
SOSP in Clatsop Co. and testament to the mildness of the spring thus
far. There wasn't much migrant action, however, even on the
detection only list. The recaptured SWAINSON'S THRUSH was first
banded on 5/22/1999. Recaptured SONG SPARROWS were first banded on
4/18/1999, 6/06/1999 and 3/21/2000.
