Songs

The male Black-chinned Sparrow's song sounds very much like a bouncing ping-pong ball. The song starts with 1–5 clear notes, followed by a long accelerating trill. The notes slur into each other as the song gets faster and faster. The trill can end on a higher pitch or a lower pitch, but it always accelerates.
