Songs

The primary song of Blackburnian Warbler is a rapid zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip titititi tseeeeee, with the final note much higher pitched, and so high that many people cannot hear it. A secondary song, rendered teetsa teetsa teetsa teetsa, is heard mostly when rival males encounter each other.

Calls

Call notes include a high, incisive tseet, sometimes doubled, often heard from nesting birds. A thinner, high tsip is often heard from migrants during the day. A similar flight call given by nocturnal migrants is a high, very short, sharp tzip.
