Salt Warblers

The Salt Warbler is a 10–11.5 cm long bird, resembling similar species in its genus. Its defining characteristics are its deep brown underbelly, its bright orange beak, and a stripe of pure white across its eye region. During the summer months it can be found primarily on Mullen Island, where it will ground nest until temperatures drop in the fall. Once migration begins they will move to remote oasis regions of the Synovian Desert, stopping along the way to eat and build their fat stores for the winter. They primarily feed on wood mites and insects, which their sharp and short beaks are purpose-built for. 
The song of the Salt Warbler is not often heard, as they only sing during the winter stage of their migration. At this point they are deep amongst the dunes of the Synovian Desert, relaxing in a salt-marsh oasis. The tune is a Godsend to victims lost and trapped in the desert's grip, as it means that precious life-giving water is not far off.
