Saipan Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus hiwae)Observer
djlavorDescription
Note distinctive very long pinkish bill; dark brown iris; dark eyestripe; pale supercilium; rusty-brown upperparts; buff flanks. I was absolutely thrilled when I found this one singing in the elephant grass. I also managed to get a good audio clip of it singing. According to Cornell Lab, this critically endangered bird was estimated in 2007 to be around 2,742 individuals on two islands.
