Forster's Reed-warbler

Forster's Reed-warbler (<em>Acrocephalus musae</em>) was a member of the family Acrocephalidae that is now classified as Extinct by the IUCN, having been lost along with many other endemic passerines from Pacific island ecosystems. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature, and the species is known primarily from historical records and museum specimens. When extant, it was associated with forest habitats, likely relying on dense woody vegetation for foraging and nesting. Its geographic range …

Anjouan Brush-warbler

The Anjouan Brush-warbler is a medium-sized acrocephalid warbler endemic to the island of Anjouan in the Comoros archipelago, weighing around 19 grams. It inhabits dense undergrowth and scrubby vegetation, foraging for insects low in the vegetation. Its long tail is distinctive among the brush-warblers.
