  Zitting Cisticola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This genus is sometimes split off with various other southern warbler genera and given family status as the Cisticolidae.
The underparts are whitish, and the tail is broad, white-tipped and flicked frequently, giving rise to the alternative name for the species.
Although this species is unlikely to be confused with other warblers in Europe, where it is the only cisticola, it is very similar to other members of its genus.

Most are arboreal insect catchers; some, e.g., the fl-and-white, the yellow-throated, and the pine warblers, crawl on trees like nuthatches and are sometimes called creepers, e.g., the honey creeper of tropical America.
Warblers are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Passeriformes, families Parulidae and Sylviidae.

The wood warblers or New World warblers are a group of small often colourful passerine birds restricted to the New World.
They are not related to the Old World warblers (Sylvidae) or the Australian warblers.
The members of this genus are also often (and more accurately) called Whitestarts, as they have conspicuous white feathers on the tail, not red.

Similarly I hardly ever mention warblers, as apart from those whose call I am certain of I do not trust field identification.

 Dave DeSante
In further work, Dave developed evidence to support a theory of "mirror-image misorientation." If, say, a Canada Warbler should be oriented to fly to South America on an angle of10 degrees east of due south, and if so oriented, it would end up in South America with the assistance of trade winds.
A "mirror-image misoriented" Canada Warbler would typically be oriented 10 degrees west of due south — the "mirror-image" of the "right" direction — and end up in California, accounting for the prevailing winds.
As it became clear that certain species (e.g., Blackpoll Warbler, Palm Warbler) were occurring in coastal California outside of all probabilities, Dave's theory explained their presence.
