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

Notes: We managed to get the nets up today for a few hours.
Though there were many RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRDS and swallows around,
there wasn't much action at the nets. Definitely the best
capture of the day and a first for the nets at the Neawanna was
our this week in hand specimen (any blood you might spot is mine).
