What is this bird that I hear and finally locate perched in a tree near our RV? A Yellow-breasted Chat who has become #235 on my bird lifer list!

A widespread breeder found over most of the United States, the Yellow-breasted Chat is a bird seldom seen or heard except during breeding season where it will boldly perch in the open to belt out a varied repertoire of songs and calls.
