BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
14 February 2001

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.

Notes: I set up nets this afternoon from 1300hr to 1500hr, in
part, as a demonstration for students working on the Neawanna
Stewardship Project. The SONG SPARROW recapture was originally
banded on 06-03-2000 and recaptured once previously 07-01-2000.
