The Manchurian Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus tangorum), also known as the Manchurian Reed-warbler, is a species of marsh-warbler (family Acrocephalidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, and was usually (and sometimes is still) treated as a subspecies of the Paddyfield Warbler (A. agricola). It is found in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Laos, Russia, Thailand, Vietnam, and possibly Myanmar. Its natural habitat is swamps. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Famous quotes containing the word reed:
“Boold was hir face, and fair, and reed of hewe.
She was a worthy womman al hir lyve.
Housbondes at chirche dore she hadde fyve,
Withouten oother compaignye in youthe—
But therof nedeth nat to speke as nowthe.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
