Songs

Song is a nonstop stream of trills, whistles, and buzzy notes that can last 3–15 minutes. It often includes mimicry of other bird species. Males sing throughout the day from late winter to midsummer, from perches and during spectacular song flights in which they launch into the air, hover 50–100 meters (160–330 feet) high in the sky for minutes on end, and then parachute back to the ground—all while singing continuously. Females also sing occasionally, but female song is softer and more monotonous than male song.
