Songs

Acadian Flycatchers sing a short, explosive tee-chup or ker-chip frequently throughout the breeding season, particularly in the morning. They also sing a “dawn song” consisting of the territorial song interspersed with metallic seet notes given very rapidly. In addition they sing an “evening song,” often in flight, consisting of a series of pseet calls followed by slurred chirps. These build to a climax, at which point the male flies above the canopy while continuing to sing.
