The Santa Marta Warbler (Myiothlypis basilica) is a species of bird in the Parulidae family. They are extremely quick-moving, this was the only photo I got that was less blurry.
They are endemic to the Santa Marta mountains and your only chance to see them is on the excursion with the El Dorado Reserve Lodge.
I could only find one and it was taken by a Colombian birding guide. Notice how quickly the bird keeps moving?
The Rimatara reed warbler (Acrocephalus rimitarae ) is a species of Old World warbler in the Acrocephalidae family. It is found only on the island of Rimatara in French Polynesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and swamps.
The are endemic to the island of Rimatara but have been overshadowed by the other endemic bird, the spectacular Rimatara Lorikeet. They are a bit harder to spot but if you walk slowly along the main road, you will probably see them if you are watching carefully.
.
This species is listed as Vulnerable because it is confined to one very small island where although it is currently not uncommon, it would have to be uplisted were a decline detected.
Unfortunately, I can’t find a video online. If I do, I will update this post.
If you live in the north-east of the USA you are probably thrilled to see spring! Why not take advantage of the pleasant weather to hone your birding skills and have a look at the local warblers? If you are headed to New York, it’s only a 25,000 mile round-trip award on American, United or US Airways. This video was filmed in Firehouse Woods, Monroe County, New York. There is a full list here.
