Dusky Warbler, Phylloscopus fuscatus

|
![]() The Dusky Warbler is a leaf-warbler, one of the several families making up the broad group of old-world warblers, which are not related to the wood warblers of the Americas. The plain and skulky little birds of this species breed in East and winter in Southeast Asia. They are rare visitors to Alaska, extremely rare in California, reported less than twenty times; oddly, they have never been reported in Oregon, Washington, or British Columbia. This one was spotted by Ron Thorn at a bayside fennel patch in South San Francisco on September 24, 2016; in company with birders and photographers from far and wide, I was able to get these photos in the same place the next day. |
