Lower bird numbers today, but we caught a very nice bird- Worm-eating Warbler! That is even a rare bird for Northern Ohio where I am from. Bill Maynard said 2012 was the last time one has been recorded at the Ranch. The three recaptures we caught all gained weight since Saturday when they were originally banded. A good sign! There is sure enough insect food options at the banding area for them to bulk up.
