Crabapple/Twinberry/Spruce along the the upper Neawanna River,

with USBBL numbered metal bands and released. Data on time of
capture and side of net captured are also recorded to gain

Notes:We had a pretty obvious migrant day today mostly ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLERS several of which were _orestera_ type. At least 300 GREATER
WHITE-FRONTED GEESE went of the station in two flocks. We also heard
a large woodpecker which up until today I would have assumed was a
PILEATED WOODPECKER.

It is remarkable how often the first interpretations of
new evidence have confirmed the preconceptions of its
discoverer.
