Description : Lanceolated Warbler are small brown birds with a pale yellow stripe above the eyes. Their upperbody is deep brown and heavily streaked with black.

They prefer habitats that are in proximity to water, such as bogs or wet clearings. When it comes to reproduction, they typically lay a clutch of five eggs. These eggs are laid and incubated in a nest carefully constructed by the bird, taking advantage of the surrounding vegetation and suitable locations within their grassland habitat.
