Yellow-breasted Chat

Icteria auricollis -- Fairly common in deciduous thickets. Note the large size, heavy bill, white spectacles, plain olive-green upper parts, and bright yellow breast. Song is an amazing alternation of caws, whistles, grunts, and rattles, frequently given in flight and even at night. Our many blackberry patches attracts this bird but it still visited the feeders when the berries were not yet ripe.
