Garrett's Reed Warbler

Acrocephalus musae (Forster, JR, 1844)

Acrocephalidae — Reed Warblers & Allies

Garrett's Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus musae, was a reed warbler of the Society Islands in the north-western Pacific, confined to Raiatea and Huahine in eastern Polynesia. It belonged to the family Acrocephalidae and was described by Forster in 1844. The bird is now extinct. It was once treated as part of the Tahiti Reed Warbler. Two named forms were recognised, one from Huahine and one from Raiatea, both lost in the nineteenth century.
