I was looking out my kitchen window this afternoon and saw a tiny bird in
the boxwood.  At first I thought it was a humming bird as it was about the
size of one.  It was not, though.  It had a short beak, mostly light gray
body, but with a yellow breast.

It was too small, and not yellow enough all over, to be a goldfinch, which
are plentiful in Kentucky.  We also apparently have yellow-breasted chats.
While the coloration of those birds is similar, chats are much larger than
a hummingbird.

Did some googling and came up with several other birds that have yellow
breasts or throats, but none of them appear to be what I saw today.
