Description
Description
The riverbank warbler (Myiothlypis rivularis), sometimes known as the Neotropical river warbler or just river warbler (leading to confusion with Locustella fluviatilis), is a species of bird in the family Parulidae. It is found at low levels near water in forests and woodlands. Its range includes three disjunct populations, with one (M. r. mesoleuca) in the eastern Amazon of Brazil, the Guianas, and southern and eastern Venezuela, the second (nominate subspecies) in the Atlantic Forest of south-eastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and far north-eastern Argentina, and the final population (M. r. bolivianus) in the Yungas of Bolivia.

Habitat
The riverbank Warbler primarily inhabits swampy areas and the vicinity of rivers and streams within lowland rainforests, which include secondary growth forests and edges. This bird species tends to occupy regions featuring humid and dense vegetation, often near water bodies, favoring ecological conditions provided by tropical and subtropical zones. Key aspects of its habitat are the proximity to flowing water and the presence of thick, lush plant life that offers both food resources and nesting sites.
