Songs

Males sing a trilled song lasting about 1.5 seconds. Some songs are monotonous, with the same individual note type delivered on a steady, or slightly wavering pitch. Other songs are two-parted, with two different note types delivered together in the same trill. Both song types can be delivered with or without 1–2 downslurred “chew” notes at the end.

Calls

Calls include a loud chip and a short, high-pitched flight note.
