Yellow-breasted Chat

This yellow-breasted chat was spotted at a CLT preserve by some sharp-eared volunteers who were able to identify it by its cascading song and assortment of sounds. This was shared with us to be an “exciting experience!” Yellow-breasted chats aren’t normally found in western Washington during the breeding season, but this little guy ended up here anyways! Maybe the shrubby habitat along Stillman Creek attracted him?

This bird is incredible! I saw one today being stalked by a cat. After chasing the cat away, the chat sang a beautiful song of thanks. It made so many strange noises! A very special bird.
