Yellow-breasted Chat, White-eyed Vireo in Morris Township, May 30, 2013

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Jonathan Klizas

This morning, a Yellow-breasted Chat was on the west side of the meadow in the Washington Valley Rd. section of Patriot’s Path in Morris Township. This is the second Yellow-breasted Chat reported in Morris County in the past few weeks. A White-eyed Vireo was observed at the Whitehead Rd. section of Patriot’s Path, a location in which this species spent the spring and early summer of 2011. Other typical species in the area are Blue-winged and Yellow Warblers, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, Veery, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Cedar Waxwings, Willow Flycatcher, Field Sparrow, etc.
