Hi Tweets



I went up to Spencer Island this morning. While walking in I met Bob Schmidt who said the Yellow-breasted Chat was still there. I got to the Interpretive Sign on the North Trail about 9:40 a.m. with the Chat singing away in the top of a mostly dead Alder tree. It sang from there til about 9:55 when it dropped. It did some singing from lower down in the shrubs. As I started to walk out I met Michael and took him back to where the Chat was. It was now back in the top of the Alder. The Chat was still singing, low down when we walked back out and Michael made his post.



Really nice when a bird unusual to a particular area shows up so nicely and gives a neat performance.



Good Birding!

Just saw the previously reported Yellow-breasted Chat singing away on Spencer Island, Everett.



Cross the bridge onto the island, turn left (north) and walk to the WDFW sign (quarter mile?). The bird was singing away on the left.
