I don't think it's been mentioned that the Yellow-breasted Chat has stayed right around the perimeter of the pond (as far as I can tell). Mostly, it's been on the north side toward the west end, but it's best seen looking across from the south side. It has also ranged to the south side and the west corner.
I've posted some pictures of the interesting birds (and more) on my web site http://stevewalternature.com/ (click Birds, Recent Work).

I don't know whether to refer to it as the Western Tanager or a Western Tanager. The location is about a mile and a half drive from Alley Pond Environmental Center, or whatever that comes out to as the tanager might fly. The site is Crocheron Park in Bayside (also shown on Google Maps as John Golden Park). The specific location was on the back (south) side of Crocheron Pond (also called Golden Pond). >From the Cross Island Parkway, go west on Northern Blvd. to 221st Street (second light after the parkway). Turn right and continue northward until the end of 221st , then make a left onto Corbett Road. When you hit 35th Avenue, make a sharp right and go down the hill to the pond. Parking here is ample. Hopefully, this will be a more reliable situation than the one in Alley - especially as we're heading toward CBC time.
