A bizarre series of hoots, whistles, and clucks, coming from the briar tangles, announces the presence of the Yellow-breasted Chat. This bird is often hard to see, but sometimes it launches into the air to sing its odd song as it flies, with floppy wingbeats and dangling legs, above the thickets. This bird's plumage and vocalizations suggest a cross between an oversized warbler and a mockingbird, however this unique chatty species stands alone as the only member of its family.
