[wisb] Chat in Waukesha Co

A Yellow-breasted Chat was found by John Bielefeldt on Thursday, June 25th.
It was seen this morning (July 1) by Pat Horn.
 
This is the same general area where the Bell's Vireo was seen a month ago.
For the Chat, continue along the gravel road to the second parking lot where
the road ends. Look in the top of the largest bur oak in the stand NW of the
parking lot.  It's also been seen in the stand of oaks along the Ice Age
trail to the north of the gravel Rd. If it's windy, it tends to stay low and
is much harder to find.
 
Other birds seen in the area include Sedge Wrens, Henslow's Sparrow,
Bobolinks and Orchard Orioles, Mosquitoes are starting to get bad there, so
take precautions!
 
Here are the directions:
 
This area is known as the Kettle Moraine Low Prairie State Natural Area.
(There's a sign) 
 
From Eagle, at the junction of Hwys 59 & 67, head north on 67 for 2.1 miles.
Turn into the drive on the west side of the road. There's a parking lot
large enough for 2-3 cars. A beautiful old stone house is right across the
Hwy from the entrance to this area. 
From the junction of Hwy ZZ  (east) & Hwy 67, the distance is 1.8 miles. If
you get to Wilton Rd, eastbound, you've gone .2 miles too far.
