Ohio flycatcher sets record
A yellow-bellied flycatcher, a poorly known migratory species passing through Ohio, broke its lifespan record when recaptured at a banding station after at least nine years, far exceeding its typical life span.

These studies provide vital insights into avian life histories and migration challenges.
