Manchurian Reed Warbler

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:

    If the British prose style is Churchillian, America is the tobacco auctioneer, the barker; Runyon, Lardner, W.W., the traveling salesman who can sell the world the Brooklyn Bridge every day, can put anything over on you and convince you that tomatoes grow at the South Pole.
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
