Songs

Male Blackpoll Warblers sing a short, high-pitched song made up of a series of staccato notes. The 3-second song gently fades in, increases in volume, and then fades back out. They sound almost like a tiny helicopter approaching and slowly passing, tsit tsit TSIT TSIT tsit tsit. Males sing 5–12 notes per second and frequently sing at all hours of the day on the breeding grounds. They also sing a rapid trill song, in which each note blends into the next with less of a staccato sound.
