Yellow Breasted Chat at Greenbury Point.

We had more rain early this morning, so I didn’t get out  until 7:00. I went to Greenbury Point because it’s close, and I knew people had reported Chats. which are prolific at Greenbury in the Summer. I was also hoping for some butterflies, but had no luck.

I heard the Chats as soon as I arrived, and got some pics right away, then walked the entire loop without seeing much more.  I expect it will get better soon.
