BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
14 May 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 heavy shower early in the morning delayed the net
setup until 07:30. A movement of ORANGE-CROWNED and WILSON'S
WARBLERS kept us busy once we had the nets up. The FOX
SPARROW was another pink-billed sooty, this one with a very
long bill.
