BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
16 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: The first WILLOW FLYCATCHER of the year was also our
first capture of the day. Total birds was much lower than it
has been for the last couple weeks, but a good movement of
YELLOW WARBLERS was evident.

Also on the move, but too high up in the canopy to capture
were WESTERN TANAGERS and BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS.
