About These Birds
Black-faced Warbler
The Black-faced Warbler is a tiny, delicate warbler with olive-green upperparts, yellow underparts, a black crown stripe, and a bold black face pattern. It inhabits montane forests and bamboo thickets from the eastern Himalayas through southern China to northern Vietnam, typically at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 meters. It is highly active, constantly flitting through dense foliage gleaning tiny insects and spiders.
Asian Stubtail
The Asian Stubtail is a tiny, secretive warbler found in the forests of eastern Asia, breeding in Siberia and wintering in South and Southeast Asia. Weighing about 9g with a very short wingspan of 10.2cm, it has a characteristically abbreviated tail and scaly head pattern. It creeps mouse-like through dense undergrowth, feeding on small invertebrates.
