I saw this Yellow-breasted Chat at Rock Cut State Park as a storm was beginning. There was a lot of lightning which scared Bandit, my aunt Susie’s dog that we were dog-sitting. The chat was flying around and it landed two times allowing me and my uncle Eddie to get really cool photos of it.
It hovered in one place which was cool to see. I think it was neat that we saw the Yellow-breasted Chat from the car. We never did hike much because of the storm. I also got a Yellow Warbler photo on this same trip.
