BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
26 August 2002

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: A SWAINSON THRUSH movement was evident today. A WILSON'S
WARBLER first banded as a hatch-year bird Aug 22, 1999 was a bit of
a surprise (the frequency of recapture for non-resident migrants is
much lower than for resident migrants like Swainson's Thrush and
Common Yellowthroat).

Other detections this morning included WARBLING VIREO, BLACK-THROATED
GRAY WARBLER, and many WESTERN TANAGERS and BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS.
