This morning at 6:15 am, intrigued by Matt's report of a possible YELLOW-BR
CHAT I took a walk along Ice Age Trail just north of Wilton Rd.  The path
heads straight along a long corridor directly north from the road.  After a
brief walk, I almost immediately heard clucks, whistles, & repeated calls.
I hopped over the small drainage ditch that parallels the trail and found
the Chat singing above me in a nice sized aspen tree!  Yea!  Thanks Matt!
