The Chat posted by Bob Kortright yesterday was still present at noon today in the same south part of the extreme west end of Ashbridge's Bay Park. The bird was about 20 feet up in a Russian Olive feeding actively and looking very healthy indeed even in the pouring rain. It was just east of a red life-saving buoy and ladder. The first tree to the east is an ash, then 2 small elms, then the Russian olives in which I saw the bird - just above the euonymus with the red berries.
