Songs

Males occasionally sing a very simple series of sweet, ringing, staccato peep call notes on the same pitch, usually introduced with a lower-pitched note.

Calls

Pairs frequently deliver a “squeal duet,” a rapid jumble of scratchy notes, and this can be a good way to locate the species. They also make a high-pitched, distinctive, ringing seep or peep call.
