After learning from friends that they had observed a Y-b Chat on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, Dick Rengstorf and I headed over there yesterday morning. We didn't get the earliest start and ended up waiting for the bird 1? hours before it appeared briefly, with vocalization, at 11:30 A.M. I am told this bird has been around for some weeks. I would like to encourage all to share with others unusual birds found on public lands by either posting on the listserve or contacting someone that will. I do realize that this is occurring the majority of the time. DIRECTIONS. Turn right at the "T" just past the park entrance building and shortly turn right again on the dirt road to the athletic fields. Park here and walk the dirt road(Wetland Trail) west about ? mile. The Chat usually frequents the north side of the road in the stretch from the small elm tree overhanging the road to the bend in the road toward the southwest. As for the two Hooded Warblers, we weren't interested in pursuing those so I don't have specific directions. I do know that they are farther west of the Chat spot somewhere along the Woodland Edge Trail.
