Steve Herman asked about westside breeding Yellow-breasted Chats. I don't
know of any confirmed westside breeding records (but would welcome any
that tweets might know of). I did find these westside Chat records (which
I will add yours to) during the breeding season:

Tacoma, 1906 Bowles, in Jewett et al. 1953
Vancouver Oakes, in Jewett et al. 1953
Bellingham, 27 July 1941 Booth, in Wahl 1995
Bellingham, 23 May 1942 Booth, in Wahl 1995
Vashon I. 23-27 May 1985 AB 39:344
Nisqually NWR, 2 males 1987 Sharpe 1993
Kent Ponds 22-26 May 1995 many tweeters, myself included
McChord AFB 1995 Russell Rogers

I'm sure there are some more I've overlooked. If tweeters know of any
(during the period mid-May to Aug. 1), I'd appreciate hearing the details.
