Bicol Ground Warbler (Robsonius sorsogonensis)
About the Bicol Ground Warbler
The Bicol ground warbler (Robsonius sorsogonensis) is a species of passerine bird in the family Locustellidae. It is native to southern Luzon and Catanduanes in the Philippines. It was formerly conspecific and forms a species complex with the Cordillera ground warbler and Sierra Madre ground warbler, which are some of most elusive birds in the country due to their extremely shy nature. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest. It is threatened by habitat loss. The Bicol ground warbler is described as a stout bird with long legs and large feet. It has a gray band across the chest and a white throat. Its song is high pitched and is noted for its ventriloquial nature which makes it extremely difficult to pin point which direction they are singing from.
