Habitat

Ecology: On Saipan, it occurs in thicket-meadow mosaics , forest edge , reed-marshes and forest openings1. A recent study on Saipan found nests in upland introduced tangantangan forest, a native mangrove wetland and a native reed wetland5. On Alamagan, it inhabits open forest with brushy understorey and wooded edges adjacent to open grassland. On Aguijan, it inhabits formerly disturbed areas vegetated by groves of trees and thickets. On Guam and Pagan, it inhabited freshwater wetland and wetland edge vegetation, almost exclusively2,3,4.[1]
