Hi, I found a Yellow-breasted Chat in Gooseberry Park, S. Moorhead, Clay County, MN, today (5/20) at about 7 P.M. but lost sight of it after a minute's observation and was unable to relocate the bird despite a half hour's search. The bird was dark olive green above with no wing bars, striking white goggles, a comparatively stocky black bill, a bright yellow breast, and strongly contrasting white underparts. It was feeding 18 inches off the ground at the edge of the thin strip of woods across from Fargo's Lindenwood Park. It was close to the grassy central portion of the park rather than at the river edge.
If I relocate the bird or hear that anyone else has seen it, I will post a follow-up message. Bob O'Connor
