Songs

Primary song, delivered only by males, is a sweet-sounding series of short up-and-down notes lasting 2–3 seconds in total. Males and females both give longer, softer songs that include primary song, short repeated notes, and the mimicry of other species’ calls.

Calls

Calls include a melodious teedle-lee and a shrill, ascending sweet.
