December 11th, 2005. Plum Island, MA.


Yellow-breasted Chat 
Icteria virens.

One of two birds feeding along the roadside just north of the Warden's on Plum Island. I was impressed by the intensity of the yellow on this bird allowing it to be easily followed through the dense thickets by the road. What a cracker! A real treat for December day in New England.
Taken using Canon Powershot A-95 through Swarovski telescope.
