Songs

Both sexes sing. Males sing nearly year-round; males and females sing an “autumn song” during the fall and winter. Male song in spring and summer is short and constantly changing: a male combines 4–6 short motifs (from an individual repertoire of about 1,300 motifs) to create a single phrase that lasts 1–3 seconds. He follows this with a new phrase a few seconds later. Singers do not repeat motifs within a phrase, and do not repeat phrases within a singing bout. Autumn song, given by both females and males, is softer than spring song and contains longer phrases.
