Songs

Both male and female sing, a lovely series of sweet, liquid notes that descends and slows, trailing off in a series of doubled notes, often finished with a mewling call note or two. Female songs are often shorter and less rich sounding than male songs. Males sometimes sing in winter.

Calls

A scratchy-sounding tsee. Subtle variations of this call probably serve as contact and alarm calls. When a male sings, the female partner often begins a series of calls during his song, in duet.
