This net is directly across
from the Banding Lab
and extends to the
bank of Crisp Pond
These nets are set on the
dike of Alder Pond
Pond Nets 2 & 3
Set on the bank between
Crisp (at the bottom of the photo)
and Alder ponds,
this net is open to both sides
(looking toward Alder Pond)
Pond Net 4 is in a good position
for catching waterbirds, and, consequently,
this is the only
net location where we sometimes
use a 61mm mesh net
Extends to the southern edge
of Alder Pond
Edge of Plover Pool and an alder-dominated riparian thicket
Set across the bank between
Plover Pool, on the left, and Heron
Pond, on the right
Managed forest edge habitat
dominated by shrubs like alder and willow,
at the far of Net 14,
and grape, multiflora rose, and silky dogwood;
invading trees are mostly
black locust and ash
Like the previous net set,
this net lane is situated within
an extensively managed
upland forest edge habitat
(Net 18, the far net, is
a half-length, i.e., 6-m net)
This net lane traverses a willow-dominated
wet shrub-scrub
habitat that requires little or
no active management to remove
taller trees and shrubs
(Net 19, the near net, is a
another half-length net )
