The mystery Acrocephalus showed well at the Obs (the general consensus among visiting birders is that it is indeed a Blyth's Reed Warbler), and there was also a Red-breasted Flycatcher at Pennsylvania Castle, and a Long-eared Owl reported briefly at the Eight Kings Quarry.
The unidentified Acrocephalus remained on the west side of the Obs garden, although it was very elusive in the strong wind and frequent heavy rain.
An unidentified Acrocephalus warbler that has been present on the edge of the Obs garden for several days generated some interest after it was reported to be calling like a Blyth's Reed Warbler (this bird has been trapped and examined in the hand but its inconclusive biometrics have prevented a firm identification from being made).

However, the mechanisms behind this complicated behavior are poorly studied because of the methodological difficulty in observing spatial locations of individuals (Baker 1993, Bardin 1993, Vega Rivera et al.
Reed Warblers (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) are associated with reed stands and possess adaptations to the intrinsically fragmented nature of such stands.
If the area covered by a single reedbed is large enough, birds can undoubtedly satisfy their urge to disperse within it.

 Acrocephalus' warbler? birds of Israel
Most folks would need a pretty good reason to spend seven hours at Yotvata's stinking sewer pools on the hottest weekend of the year, but this large 'Acrocephalus' warbler had me really puzzled!
The bird was clearly large and bulky, comparable in size to two typical Great Reed Warblers (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) present at the same site, but if anything appeared slightly smaller than those birds.
However, its general field appearance was much greyer, indeed strikingly so, especially on the rump when seen in flight.

Taxonomy - 1 (DRAFT) - Taxonomy Species WARBLER, REED, NIGHTINGALE Species Id ESIS101003 Date 14 MAR 96 All of these names have now been preempted by the genus Acrocephalus, the genus assigned to reed warblers found throughout the old world and thought to be the ancestral stock of the Pacific island populations (01,15).
Species names applied have been nearly as varied as the generic names assigned, and include syrinx, orientalis, mariannae, stentoreus, and yamashinae (01).
This species has this status wherever found including the U.S. Pacific Island Trust Territories known as The Federated States of Micronesia and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, of the western Pacific Ocean.

The accidental introduction of mammalian predators, non-native pest plants or insect species could rapidly bring about its extinction.

It previously occurred on Laysan also, where the nominate race was estimated to number 1,500 birds in 1915, but became extinct between 1916 and 1923.
