I did a post on the yellow-breasted chat on May 5, 2025. It was only one decent photo of the bird I'd seen for the first time in Big Morongo Nature Preserve. Yesterday I was out at Big Morongo again, with my son, Sam, on a very warm day in the early evening.
A yellow-breasted chat visited the bird feeders two different times, I'm assuming it was the same bird both times, and it may be the same bird I saw over a month ago. I got lots of photos, some in a tree, some on the ground and some on feeders (which I did not keep).
My photos follow:

What a beautiful bird. I especially like the light margins between the grey and gold.
