Greetings,

I birded Clapp Park and Ransom Canyon this morning. Not much at Clapp
except a Virginia Rail out in the open. Ransom was also slow. We thought
Northern Waterthrush was going to be our only warbler species until we ran
into a feeding flock consisting of a Nashville Warbler, Painted Bunting,
and Worm-eating Warbler. Also had a Blue Grosbeak.

In other Ransom news, the Great-horned Owl nest has failed. One of the
adults is dead and the fledglings are likely dead as well. One adult
remains in the area. I wonder how they met their demise?

Photos of the Worm-eating can be found here:
