Songs

The male sings a halting, burry song of ascending and descending phrases. There can be 1 second or more of silence between each phrase, and the overall song can go on for long periods. Plumbeous Vireo songs are almost identical but the first phrases of its song are less burry than in Cassin’s.

Calls

Among the most often heard vocalizations outside the breeding season are harsh, raspy alarm calls (cha-cha-cha-cha) that vary in intensity and duration. Cassin’s Vireo’s calls sound very similar to the calls of other vireos but are useful to learn, as they often attract other bird species.
