[birding] Baby Chats

[Joel Geier]

Hi again,

Not quite as exciting as a Magnolia Warbler, but very cute:

I've been hearing a lot of "mew" calls from the bushes around our yard,
which tells me that YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS are around, even though
they've mostly stopped singing. Last evening I spotted a family group of
two juveniles who were being tended by one or two adults, in the
hawthorn/apple/rose/willow tangle on the south side of our yard.

Happy birding,
Joel
