Songs

Golden-crowned Sparrows have a song of several clear whistles, sliding downward in a melancholy phrase that’s sometimes described as “I’m so tired” or “oh, dear me.” Often, they add a trill to the end. Males sing from the treetops, rooftops, and the tops and edges of shrub thickets, mainly in the early breeding season but also at other times of year.
