This morning at 7:30 the Yellow-breasted Chat was easily seen in the bright sunlight as it made it's way through the Dogwoods and other shrubs in the area just in front of the woods along the trail. It then flew over to the south side of the woods and worked it's way through the area where the small hills are. Roughly an hour or so later it was rediscovered by the T.O.C. group on the west side of the woods skulking through the shrubs there. Other nice birds observed in the woods: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Brown Thrasher, Northern Waterthrush, Swamp Sparrow and Rusty Blackbird. The trails are very muddy and there are several large puddles of water. The Wet Woods are located in the baselands of the Leslie Street Spit just beyond the west side of the parking lot area. The Leslie Street Spit (Tommy Thompson Park) is located at the foot of Leslie Street as you head south from Lake Shore Blvd East.
