Songs

Song a broken series of slurred notes. Each phrase usually ends in either a downslur or an upswing, as if the bird asks a question, then answers it, over and over.

Calls

A loud, catbird-like myaah call punctuates many social interactions. Both sexes use it to emphasize warning displays toward potential predators or interlopers. Females incubating eggs may use the same call to attract the male, as well as a tchet, tchet, tchet call to solicit food from him. Males use a second tsherrrr call during fights and territorial displays.
