Songs

A highly repetitive series of two-syllable notes delivered in rapid succession with just a brief (0.1 second) pause between notes. Each individual note rises and falls twice, giving the overall song an up-and-down quality: “a-wik a-wik a-wik….”

Calls

Basic call is a short, nasal, barking note, given alone or in short series. Males give a “rapid call” that is similar to song, but faster paced and with shorter individual notes.
