[SBB] Yellow-breasted Chat continues to sing in Gilroy

[Dave Quady <[[email protected]]>]

Birders:

Yesterday the Yellow-breasted Chat at the South County Regional 
Wastewater Authority plant in Gilroy sang fairly steadily between 11 am 
and noon, when I was there.

After signing in at the office (1500 Southside Drive in Gilroy), I got 
directions and permission to drive on the outermost levee to the 
facility's  southeast corner.  The Chat sang mainly from the line of 
willows that extends west along the southern edge of the facility's 
south boundary levee.  Once or twice the bird flew southwest across an 
open field to other trees to sing there, but it returned to the willows 
to resume singing.  Despite its best efforts to hide, I was able to get 
semi-satisfying glimpses of the bird.

Occasionally I heard a sound that I tried to turn into a second Chat, 
but in the end I concluded there was only one bird singing.
