Abstract: | We used submerged mist nets to capture 86 adult and 34 young Eared Grebes (Podiceps nigricollis), three American Coots (Fulica americana), one Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors) and four diving ducks in central British Columbia, Canada. Submerged mist nets are inexpensive, efficient, and can be used by one person to capture both flightless and flight-capable diving birds. Our technique can be used with birds that can be herded or are repeatedly found at locations such as nest sites. /// Utilizamos redes sumergidas tipo HTX y ATX, para la captura de 86 adultos y 34 juveniles de Podiceps nigricollis, tres individuos de Fulica americana, y cuatro patos zambullidores en una localidad de la Columbia Británica, Canadá. Las redes son de bajo costo, eficientes y pueden ser utilizadas por una persona para la captura tanto de aves no voladoras como voladoras zambullidoras. La ténica es útil para capturar aves que pueden ser forzadas a moverse a un área determinada o que reptidamente visitan una localidad particular, como lo puede ser su nido. |
