About the Claudia's Leaf-Warbler

Claudia's leaf warbler (Phylloscopus claudiae) is a leaf warbler found only in China. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. Most taxonomists previously considered it to be a subspecies of the Blyth's leaf warbler. Olsson, U., P. Alström, P.G.P. Ericson, and P. Sundberg. 2005.
