I had only two hours free today before life's responsibilities had to be taken care of, so I headed over to Garret Mountain in hopes of seasonal target birds like Connecticut Warbler, Philadelphia Vireo, or Clay-colored Sparrow.
To my surprise Bill located a Chat, and then we saw a second Chat was there as well. This is a tough bird to find in Northern NJ, and I had not yet seen this species this year. The best part was that I had never seen this species at Garret Mountain at all in over 15 years birding here !!
