Yellow-breasted Chat

I swear, if it wasn't for Jerry Jourdan's amazing blog, I would never know of the good nearby birds.  On Sunday, I saw Jerry's Yellow-breasted Chat post and then on Monday I tried for the bird.  I arrived later than I should have.  Heard singing for sure; but seeing, no way.  I went back this morning much earlier.  Two other photographers were already there.  At first it seemed like it would be a repeat of my Monday effort.  But then the bird flew to a heavily leafed tree, and then to a nearby tall dead tree.  The bird was at the top of the tree and quite far away, but the movie set lighting made photos possible.  Below are my best efforts.   


Irresistible.  One of my favorite birds.
