Transcript

00:00The Bored Warbler is a true traveler. It spends its summer breeding in the dense thorny bushes

00:06and hedges of Central and Eastern Europe. But once autumn arrives, it flies thousands of

00:12miles south to East Africa and Central Asia to spend the winter making it a long-distance

00:18migrant. In the spring and summer, it eats mostly insects and bugs. But when it's time to prepare

00:25for the long ride, it switches its diet to eat lots of berries to store energy. If you hear a loud

00:32fast and rich chattering song coming from a thick bush, it's probably the Bored Warbler singing its

00:39heart out, sometimes even copying the calls of other birds. The easiest way to spot an adult male

00:46is by the bold dark bars or stripes across its chest and belly, which look like a fence or bearing.

00:53This gives the birds its name, even if you can't see the stripes clearly. This is the best clue for

00:59both males and females. The females and young birds are usually plain gray-brown and don't have the

01:06stripes. Because they are shy and like to hide deep inside thick bushes, getting a video of this bird

01:12is a special accomplishment. Moreover, their secretive nature means they often remain hidden in dense cover,

01:19making a clear view of the characteristic bearing or the yellow eye ascension for positive identification,

01:26especially outside of the singing season.
