The yellow breast of a Yellow-breasted Chat

The same Yellow-breasted Chat in the prior post perched out in the open, though at a distance, to do some calling and then to groom. I got this photo just after the bird finished grooming and some of its neck feather were still ruffled.

Peaking Yellow-breasted Chat

As I walked on the Canon City Riverwalk this week, Yellow-breasted Chats were calling every hundred feet or so. They are quite loud with their complex vocalizations. I saw this chat peaking out at me.Yellow-breasted Chats tend to be skulkers though they will sometimes perch out in the open. These pictures show how this species is usually seen (though are are more often heard than seen).
