The Yellow-breasted Chat reported yesterday (by Madeleine Linck) at Baker's Park Reserve (Orono, Hennepin County) was easily relocated today at 12:20pm. He was heard and seen in the same location: east of the bike trail at the first point where you can see CR 19 running parallel to the trail. He was singing away in the low shrubs that hugs a marsh, then flew south, where I could hear him through the deciduous woods while leaving. Please note that, from the parking lot, it is about a mile-long walk. If you need directions, please e-mail. Other interesting birds seen/heard: -Blue-winged Warblers (1-2, singing on territory?) -Olive-sided Flycatcher (1 near the chat) -Black-billed Cuckoo (briefly heard south of the chat site) Not a bad way to end the last day of school...
