About These Birds

Caroline Reed-warbler

The Caroline Reed-warbler (<em>Acrocephalus syrinx</em>) is a member of the family Acrocephalidae and is endemic to forest habitats in the Caroline Islands of Micronesia. Unlike many of its wetland-associated congeners, this species inhabits forested environments on its island range. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature. Nesting records indicate it builds a suspended or pendant nest (SP), a less common nest type within the genus, and typically lays a clutch of 2 eggs. …

African Yellow Warbler

The African Yellow Warbler is a small, reed-dwelling warbler of the Acrocephalidae family, weighing about 12 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. It inhabits reedbeds and rank vegetation near water in eastern and southern Africa, producing a buzzy, chattering song from dense cover.
