The Yellow-breasted Chats are back on territory at the Garrett Preserve with at least three sitting up and singing, or whatever you call the sounds a chat makes! Birds tended to be hunkered down in the chill wind, but multiple Common Yellowthroats called from the thickets, an Indigo Bunting perched briefly and Clapper Rails could be heard calling from the marsh.
