BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
02-26-2002

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.

Winter sparrow efforts will place special emphasis on identifying
FOX SPARROWS, SONG SPARROWS and WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS to
subspecies.

Notes: A beautiful warm day with singing FOX SPARROWS and
4 VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS flying overhead. There were two
(uncaptured today) AMERICAN ROBINS sporting metal bands,
presumably from previous captures. It was an OREGON JUNCO
kind of day; most of them fattening up quite nicely.
