Round 1, Poll 23

Southern Emuwren vs Plumbeous Redstart

sources under cut

Southern Emuwren Propaganda

"I think their tails look like grass seedheads and that makes me happy"

"The southern emu-wren derives its common name from its tail feathers, the loosely barbed nature of which resembles feathers of the emu, the irony being that the emu-wrens are among the smallest of Australian birds, while the emu is the largest." - Wiki

Plumbeous Redstart Propaganda

"I like the colors and its name. The only lead that should be around water. And it's really cute!" [submitted as Plumbeous Water Redstart; Plumbeous means "lead-colored"]

"The plumbeous water redstart is very protective of its habitat and will be extremely confrontational to any trespasser on its territory. In order to catch flies in rivers, it flies vertically until it is at least 20 feet (~6 m) above the water, before gliding down in a spiral back to the same perching place." - wiki

plumbeous water redstart

okay turns out there are several birbs with plumbeous in their common name and it's apparently because they "look like lead"?

October 19, 2017 - Plumbeous Water-redstart or Plumbeous Redstart (Phoenicurus fuliginosus)

These redstarts are found from eastern Afghanistan through the Himalayas to northeastern and eastern China, Taiwan, and northern Southeast Asia. Their diet is mostly insects, including caddis flies and their larvae, mayflies, and midges, along with some berries and seeds. Often foraging near water, they sometimes wade into it or pluck prey from the surface. They build their nests from roots, grasses, leaves, and other materials, often on or among the rocks near running water.
