Sakhalin Grasshopper Warbler (Helopsaltes amnicola)
About the Sakhalin Grasshopper Warbler
Sakhalin grasshopper warbler (Helopsaltes amnicola), is a species of bird in the family Locustellidae; it was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. This small passerine bird breeds on Sakhalin, the southern Kuril Islands and Hokkaido. It is a species found in lowland and coastal regions, nesting in forests or thickets. The adult has an unstreaked olive-brown back, uniformly grey breast and buff underparts, with unmottled dull orange undertail coverts. The song is a short phrase, loud and distinctive; nothing like the insect-like reeling of European Locustella species, and more musical than that of Pallas's grasshopper warbler.
