Note: Birds listed as poisoned were those found suffering from lead poison- 
ing at the Cinder Flats and banded after being restored to health. Those 
listed as “injured” were not injured in banding operations; they were 
brought in injured, treated, and banded before release. They are listed to 
show the actual species total. 
The chart above illustrates the tremendous potential of netting birds as 
compared with trapping. When mortalities are below 1% (the same as in 
trap use), the results are even more impressive.
