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

Notes: We began fall banding at the Neawanna Banding station with
mostly juvenile captures of (most probably) resident birds. Very
little in the way of migrant activity anywhere in the station.
Heard a WHIMBREL flyover, two GREATER YELLOWLEGS were present most
of the morning as were a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK and at least one GREEN
HERON.

Today's bird in-hand: hatch-year male BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK
