Crabapple/Twinberry/Spruce along the the upper Neawanna River,

Notes: Net were set up late in the morning with the intent of
targeting RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRDS. Two females and a male were
captured and banded. A 4th female managed to back out of the
net before I could get to it. The RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET (probably
ssp calendula) was banded 03-21-2000 and may represent a
returning migrant (the placed was loaded with RCKI most of them
singing to beat the band). The MARSH WREN was banded 02-06-2000.
The CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES were banded together 09-17-2000
as hatch-year birds and captured in the same group (though
different nets) this year.
