[QUOTE="arkansasnative, post: 235417, member: 2328"] Thanks guys and ill get on that smoker thread soon jim! Basically we used nets to catch the birds... this summer i would hike all day and we would use an electronic caller in known territories for migrating swainson's warblers (the bird i mainly worked with all summer). When they would hear the call they would get defensive and start flying around us to find the bird they were hearing. If it didnt have bands already on its legs we would set up a net around 15 foot long by 8 foot tall and put the caller on the ground below it... they'd get curious and fly in. then we could take the bird out and band it and release. This is known as target netting. This fall i worked at an ongoing banding "station" which is similar but there's no caller, multiple nets, and the nets opened at dawn and closed about noon, monitored the entire time. Sometimes we would get up to almost 40 birds a morning and almost caught a deer once! [/QUOTE]
