Probably the best photo ever of a Yellow-breasted Chat.

Thanks for sharing this once in a life time photo.

Did the bird sing for you?

Want to echo Richard's comment, Troy, it's an awesome picture of the YBC. I was lucky enough to see one along Putah Creek in West Davis last week.

Thanks,?

Thanks for the kind words, all.
To answer some questions, I use a Sony RX10MIV high end bridge camera with internal 600mm equiv zoom.? This shot is not crisp because it was low light and highly cropped.? Below is the shot before post-processing.

Rich, yes the bird did sing for me.? To my untrained ear it sounds rather jay-like.? I am attaching my phone recording which BIRDnet validated.? I have to admit I find that to my ear a lot of the local birds don't sound much like their Merlin recordings.? Local dialects?
