Seicercus
''Seicercus'' is a genus of Old World warbler formerly in the family Sylviidae but now placed in Phylloscopidae. Recent scientific studies have recommended synonymizing this genus with '' Phylloscopus,'' and are placed there. The genus is distributed in the Indian subcontinent and eastern Asia from northern China to Timor in the Lesser Sundas. Many of the more northerly species are migratory, breeding in temperate climates and wintering in the tropics; others are attitudinal migrants, moving down from the mountains in the winter. A few species are migratory over part of their range and resident in others.Del Hoyo, J.; Elliot, A. & Christie D. (editors). (2006). Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 11: Old World Flycatchers to Old World Warblers. Lynx Edicions. P.p. 675-679 . The ''Seicercus'' warblers are small passerines that range in size from 9.5 to 12 cm in length and weigh around 4-9 g. All species have green wings and yellow bellies, most have yellow breasts ...

Phylloscopidae
Leaf warblers are small insectivorous passerine birds belonging to the genus ''Phylloscopus''. Leaf warblers were formerly included in the Old World warbler family but are now considered to belong to the family Phylloscopidae, introduced in 2006. The family originally included the genus ''Seicercus'', but all species have been moved to ''Phylloscopus'' in the most recent classification. Leaf warblers are active, constantly moving, often flicking their wings as they glean the foliage for insects along the branches of trees and bushes. They forage at various levels within forests, from the top canopy to the understorey. Most of the species are markedly territorial both in their summer and winter quarters. Most are greenish or brownish above and off-white or yellowish below. Compared to some other "warblers", their songs are very simple. Species breeding in temperate regions are usually strongly migratory. Description The species are of various sizes, often green-plumaged above ...

Chestnut-crowned Warbler
The chestnut-crowned warbler (''Phylloscopus castaniceps'') is a species of leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. Nine subspecies are recognised across its range, and it forms a superspecies with the Sunda warbler and the yellow-breasted warbler. It is arboreal and primarily insectivorous. Though not considered migratory, it may make small seasonal movements to higher or lower elevations. The chestnut-crowned warbler was previously placed in the genus ''Seicercus''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018 found that neither '' Phylloscopus'' nor ''Seicercus'' were monophyletic. In the subsequent reorganization the two genera were merged into ''Phylloscopus'' wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

White-spectacled Warbler
The white-spectacled warbler (''Phylloscopus intermedius'') is a species of leaf warbler in the family Phylloscopidae. It is found in Asia from the eastern Himalayas to south-eastern China and southern Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It was formerly included in the Old World warbler family, Sylviidae. The white-spectacled warbler was described by the English entomologist and ornithologist Frederic Moore in 1854 and given the binomial name ''Abrornis affinis''. In 1898 the Irish ornithologist John David Digues La Touche described another bird to which he gave the binomial name ''Cryptolopha intermedia''. These two taxa were subsequently considered to belong to the same species and were placed in the genus ''Seicercus''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018 found that neither ''Seicercus'' nor the closely related genus '' Phylloscopus'' were monophyletic. In the subsequen ...

Whistler's Warbler
Whistler's warbler (''Phylloscopus whistleri'') is a species of leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is found in the Indian subcontinent, from the Himalayas to Myanmar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest.

Alström's Warbler
Alström's warbler (''Phylloscopus soror''), or the plain-tailed warbler, is a species of Old World warbler in the family Phylloscopidae. It was first described in 1999. It breeds only in China and winters as far as Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. Habitat and migration Alström's warbler often forages in a low, dense growth of forests. This bird is known to eat insects and catch prey during short flights. The bird is not currently globally threatened. This bird has a very large range and does not approach the potential of being a vulnerable species. The warbler typically breeds in warmer, temperate areas. These areas are found within evergreen broadleaf forest zones and lush undergrowth in mature forests. It has a scattered breeding range across central and eastern China. The warbler tends to breed in bushes and small trees of low to moderate height, in recently cleared areas. This bird is a migratory species. It migrates durin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Grey-cheeked Warbler
The grey-cheeked warbler (''Phylloscopus poliogenys'') is a species of leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is native to Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Its population size is unknown, but due to its large range the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criteria. The population trend appears to be stable, so also under the population size criteria the species does not approach Vulnerable. The grey-cheeked warbler was previously placed in the genus ''Seicercus''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018 found that neither ''Phylloscopus'' nor ''Seicercus'' were monophyletic. In the subsequent reorganization the two genera were merged into ''Phylloscopus'' which has priority under the rules of the Int ...
