Yellow-Breasted Chat

[Kathryn Davis]

Yellow-Breasted Chat was seen this morning at Cape Neddick Golf Course between 1100 and 1215.  It was seen several times in the same area that it has been reported at  in the past few days in the vicinity of the huge golf net. Bright yellow breast and white spectacles were prominent.  I saw it first in flight as it flew parallel to the golf netting about four feet off the ground and landed in a tree, giving some brief but good looks.  It stayed in the same general area flying from from one spot to another, landing on a limb or upper part of a bush, dropping to the ground and then disappearing from view for awhile.  Eventually would be spotted again as it flew to another location.
