Europe and Asia are home to many Old World warblers, which for the most part are small, brownish, and a challenge to identify. Fortunately, they often are habitat-specific and all have species-specific songs, so separating species during the breeding season is often done by vocalizations. The marsh warber, shown here, is one of the last of the spring migrants to arrive; as its name implies it is usually found in or close to marshy areas. It looks (and acts) a lot like a small version of the large and noisy great reed warbler. These photos were taken in Bialowieza, in northeastern Poland. |
