[mou] Yellow-breasted Chat, Blue Earth County

This morning around 8:30 a friend and I found a Yellow-breasted Chat  
at Minneopa State Park just south of Mankato in Blue Earth County.  
 From the campground entrance off Hwy. 68, drive into the park and  
take your first left into the prairie. Drive all the way back to where  
the road begins to veer left towards the hills. We found the chat  
singing on the right side of the road at this spot. There is a group  
of several dead and gnarled oak trees on the right just before this  
area as a reference point. The chat was singing (visibly) from a dense  
stand of sumac and shrubs about 10 yards from the road.
