European Warblers are difficult birds for any American to identify. Nothing like our colorful birds of the same name (and, in fact, from a totally different genus). European warbers are all small, mostly brown, black, and white, and relatively elusive. Take this one for instance. I think it is a Reed Warbler…it is, after all, singing in the reeds…but it might be a displaced Marsh Warbler, or even a Savi’s Warbler. I do not have enough experience with European Warblers to say for sure…but I am going with Reed as the most likely. 🙂

It was taken in the Reed beds right in Neusiedl am See, within sight of our hotel, during the ZEISS VICTORY SF Experience Event.
