Description
Ijima's leaf warbler (Phylloscopus ijimae) (also known as Izu leaf warbler, Ijima's willow warbler or Ijima's warbler) is a species of Old World warbler in the family Phylloscopidae. It is found in Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss, but is locally abundant in steep and densely wooded areas whose topography makes habitat destruction for development difficult. Ijima's leaf warbler is in practice hard to tell apart from the eastern crowned warbler, by physical appearance alone. It has the same dainty and perfectly proportioned features of the typical Phylloscopus warbler. However, the song - a series of quiet but fairly far-carrying squeaking sounds - is very different from the plaintive, Old World bunting like song of the eastern crowned.

Feeding Habits
Ijima's Leaf Warbler predominantly consumes small insects and seeds. They forage alone or in small groups, frequently joining flocks with other species such as Long-tailed Tits. Typically feeding in the forest's upper canopy, ijima's Leaf Warbler also ventures to lower undergrowth and even ground level, capturing prey with agile sallies along branches and aerial snares.
Habitat
Ijima's Leaf Warbler typically inhabits lowland deciduous and mixed subtropical evergreen forests, including the surrounding forest edges. These birds are also found in areas with dense bamboo growth, alder thickets, light bushy regions, and areas dominated by tangled scrub, indicating a preference for a variety of dense vegetative structures.
