BANDING REPORT- Neawanna Wetland Preserve
14 September 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: It was a decidedly slow day at the banding station. There
was no real evidence of any movements. CEDAR WAXWING and PURPLE
FINCH numbers in the area have dropped remarkably. A small flock
(7 individuals) of DUSKY CANADA GEESE stopped at the ponds at
around 10:00hr.
