Birds of Kentucky: Yellow Breasted Chat


2025-07-18 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen.
All About Birds says, "Though widespread, Yellow-breasted Chats can be hard to find, thanks to their habit of skulking in dense thickets. You'll have the most success looking (or listening) for them early in the breeding season, when male performs his extensive repertoire of loud whistles, rattles, catcalls, grunts, and other sounds." It was certainly true of this one. I heard him for nearly 30 minutes before I spotted him.

Check out this mug


2025-07-17 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold.
Veronica writes, "Take a look at the mug shot I got on this guy. This guy is a thief or a robber. He is known as the Robber Fly. They are much bigger than a house fly and they are a predatory insect. So if you see this thief in your garden, harboring this robber is to your advantage. He eats other flying insects like flies and mosquitoes. So we want this guy around. Yes, they can bite humans and that doesn't feel particularly nice, but we aren't their meal of choice. If you leave them alone and 'let them cook,' they will help you and your garden get rid of pests. Having these guys present shows a good biodiversity in insects in your garden.

You can identify these guys by where they are located, their size, their elongated body, and their big eyes. Scientists have even studied the eyes of Robber Flies to help them design better cameras for drone technology.

Life is full of interesting things. Keep your eyes open for the wonder!"
