Chat found easily in same place on 5/31/16 T 7:30 M.  Singing while flying back and forth over the service road.  A chance there are two Chats: we can hope for breeding.

| Yellow-breasted Chat, 5/30/16, Silver Sands SP, still in the Ailanthus | 
Yellow-breasted Chat, discovered by John Oshlick on 5/27/16, found yesterday and again today, from 5/18/16, just off the main paved road through SSSP.  Also, I found a Yellow-breasted Flycatcher in the deep, dark cover with the foraging Chat on 5/27.  Both birds commonly found years ago when active at  Milford Point banding station, but never saw the birds there except during banding.  Below, a record photo of the Chat and a deer and WIFL today:
