A yellow breasted chat was singing loudly (I guess they never sing softly) at Hyland Lake Park Reserve in Bloomington about 5:30 this morning. Also unusual at the park were two male redhead ducks. The ducks and chat were located in the same general area.
If you go, park at Bush Lake Beach. The ducks were in the pond east of E. Bush Lake Road directly across from the entrance to the beach parking area. A paved trail runs east and south of the pond. Take the trail south to find the chat. It was east of the trail about 50 paces south of the trail stop sign (where the spur from Bush Lake Beach enters the Hyland Park trail system). This is a wooded area--not typical chat habitat.
