we may have spotted a rare bird in the draw off our back yard. After looking it up on What Bird(http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/342/_/Yellow-breasted_Chat.aspx), and listening to the call, we belive we have it right.
Yellow breasted Chat
Filed under Everyday Adventure

Very early this morning I went out to see if that was really sun coming in my window. One to the Chat’s was sitting on a branch just beyond the fence scolding me for interrupting his early sun bath.
It has been fun to watch Tweeters with lenses we covet setting up and playing paparazzi.
The story of discovery is here:
