Chat Chitchat - a photo on Flickriver

Chat Chitchat

            The song of the yellow-breasted chat is a wonderful collection of sounds which the Cornell Lab of Ornithology describes as "streams of whistles, cackles, chuckles, and gurgles with the fluidity of improvisational jazz." I suspect this individual, nicely nestled in a mountain mahogany bush, was a recent arrival setting up its nesting territory. Spring is the best time to see and hear yellow-breasted chats, as they tend to be more secretive the rest of the year.

This might be the least post-processed photo I've posted on Flickr. The light and setting were quite nice sooc- the main adjustment was cropping the photo.
