I am pretty sure this is a migrant Blyth’s, seen in Kazakhstan in May. Now, if the bird does not have an obviously curved folded wing, we don’t really need to check the length of the undertail coverst since we know we are looking at an Acrocephalus warbler. Option two: abandon bird. Good enough.

I’m extremely grateful to Paul for taking the initiative in raising awareness of this NWR campaign. You may even have some profound insights that need to be shared in this public forum. His underlying point should be well taken by all of us: Birders and bird-educators could have an impact on the future of the Refuge System.
