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.

Notes: There was an interesting mix of species at the banding
station today. Unlike last week which showed a clear and
continuous movements through the area, most birds today seemed
to be wandering randomly. A MOURNING DOVE, a WESTERN WOOD PEWEE
and a BULLOCK'S ORIOLE were among the species detected.
