The Yellow-breasted Chat was once known as the largest member of the warbler family seen in North America. This is no longer true, since this chat has been removed from the warbler group.This forest bird, which lives in the undergrowths, is recognized by its brightly coloured yellow breast. It is more common, than realized, and is seen in almost all the US states on the continent. It has been reported as a rare bird seen in Cuba.
