  • Yellow-breasted Chat rescued from barn. It had tried to escape through plexiglass windows at the top near openings. It finally bounced off another window in the side of the barn and fell into spider webs, slightly stunned. We carried it to the house pond and placed it on a rock from which it eventually flew away, apparently unharmed.
