The Yellow-breasted Chat recently sighted at Mill Pond Park in Bellmore continues today, frequenting the brushy tangles along the trail on the western shore of the lake. Starting in the southwest corner near Stella’s restaurant and walking up the path will put you in the right area. It was alternating between active feeding and extended bouts of roosting in dense cover during the observation period. A Blue-winged Teal hen continues near the western shore of the lake as well, and the young Common Gallinule present for the past few weeks is presumably still nearby as well.
