[SBB] Yellow-breasted Chat (Llagas Creek)

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

This morning, 4/29/2005, I walked up the levee along the west side of 
Llagas Creek above Bloomfield.  As I neared the first pond, a 
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was singing vociferously west of the levee and south 
of the first pond.  A second bird was singing east of Llagas Creek.  I had 
only brief views of the first bird, who then became silent.  I walked 
further up the levee to pond 5 (ponds 2 to 4 have some water).  There were 
a couple of GREEN HERONS along the creek.  A pair of RING-NECKED DUCKS in 
pond 2 seemed late.  There were lots of shorebirds including six 
SEMIPALMATED PLOVER and eight SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER along with the 
expected 122+ Long-billed Dowitcher and other shorebirds.

Walking back, I ran into Alan and Karen Thomas and then Chris Wolfe, all 
looking for the chats.  I hung around for a while, but there was nary a 
sound.  Maybe they had better luck after I left.

No warning ticket at the car--that's nice.
