Yellow-breasted Chat Song

You can hear why this bird is known as the "buffoon of the briar patch" in this audio file. It has declined in the eastern United States as farmlands and pastures disappear, revert to forests, or are developed for human use.

The beautiful birds live up to their names! The chat all day long and are not shy. Sometimes I think they are scolding me!

I used to get tickled listening to this bird sing at night, so varied.

Walked out of work today and this sound really caught my attention. Cool bird!!

[falstaffswims]

This guy just woke me up at 5am singing

We hear, and sometimes see, the YB Chat in our garden (in Tennessee). Perhaps he will breed here?

[sofiabarrera]

My cat brought me one, very thankful for the gift

[GirlsRuleTheWorld]

I have one coming to my feeders in the mornings in Fort Wayne IN.

[scottmontgomery]

[thatgirlexzie]

[ausaraidjaijaroensup]

I always hear this at night but it was really slow and not fast like this

[beckyvance]

I just saw my first Chat! How beautiful!

[camilosixtino]

If you are in their woods you will feel like a mistery voices around you, like natives americans souls.

[jessicagronek]

It's 2am. I wish it would stop, or go hang out somewhere else. At least I know who the guilty party is. :-)

coffee Estates have no Bird life as it aught to be. The Chemicals Used kill the Prey... this breaks the Chain...
