Day 164: Yellow-breasted Chat

The Yellow-breasted Chat is the largest wood-warbler and can be found throughout much of North America, depending on the season. They have olive upperparts with white bellies and bright yellow throats and breasts. They also have long tails. We normally hear them before we see them; they have very loud calls with a mixture of cackles, clucks, whistles, and hoots. Due to their size and vibrant color, they are usually easy to spot.
