BANDING REPORT- Coho Creek Demonstration Site
06 June 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: We set up (probably for the only time this season) at the
Coho Creek Demonstration Site (about .5mi NE of the Neawanna Station)
to show 5th graders about bird banding. We banded there for 6 weeks
with Upward Bound students last summer. All the birds we captured
were in breeding condition and presumably summer residents.
