I noted that Yellow-breasted Chats were found at Mansfield and Woodbridge. This skulker species can be easy to miss and it’s a good reminder to look high and low…especially since Connecticut Warblers are around us right now and might be found at your local patch! Last year they were found at Veterans Park in Wallingford and the Harris preserve in Haddam…who will get one at their garden this year?!
